Abstract

Two candidate protocols for the generic flow control of the broadband integrated services digital network (B-ISDN) are currently being considered by the Accredited Standards Committee T1 (ASC T1). One proposal advocates the use of a distributed queue dual bus (DQDB)-like mechanism with a three level priority scheme. The other proposal is based on a slotted ring with control terminal equipment (C-TE), assigning periodic credit authorizations to the transmitting stations. This paper analyzes the performance behavior of the two protocols according to traffic scenarios and boundary conditions defined by the International Telephone and Telegraph Consultative Committee (CCITT) and T1
