The distributed robust traffic controller for ATM networks

We propose an approach to design a distributed rate-based traffic controller to flow-regulate the best-effort service (e.g. ABR) traffic and guaranteed service traffic through an ATM switch. The controller is distributed among the source nodes and has a very simple structure. Its local controller at each source node is open-loop stable and only requires the knowledge of the buffer occupancy at the bottleneck switch. We show that this controller is fair and is not sensitive to the change of VCs over time. It does not have oscillation and can achieve a high utilization. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
