Usage parameter control and bandwidth allocation methods for ATM-based B-ISDN

This paper proposes a ATM traffic management scheme that utilizes a deterministic source traffic descriptor, a deterministic Usage Parameter Control (UPC) algorithm and a conservative statistical bandwidth allocation method. The scheme not only guarantees the QOS of all connections but also allows for large statistical multiplexing gain. The proposed method, therefore, creates an effective B-ISDN that offers cost-effective broadband variable bit-rate services.
