Abstract

A simple flow control mechanism, called RCT (rate control for end-to-end transport), is proposed for end-to-end transport in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. It reacts to instantaneous internal congestion as determined by the measured overload period. Transmission rate is adjusted by means of an adaptive window flow control mechanism that uses multiplicative decrease and linear increase algorithms. The RCT shows acceptable performance when the average round trip delay and the variance of the average value are small
