Traffic controls in ATM networks

Real time, cell-level control mechanism is an important component of the overall ATM network control architecture. Close-loop reactive control and open-loop preventive control are the two major classes of cell-level control mechanisms. We study one representative control scheme from each of the two classes. Their performance are compared under several scenarios.<<ETX>>
