  • Abstract
    Simulation, analysis, and experiments on switching hardware have shown that for a wide variety of traffic patterns, credit control is fair, uses links efficiently, minimizes delay, and guarantees no cell loss due to congestion. The credit-based mechanism proposed by the authors provides flow control tailored to ATM networks
