Adaptive algorithms for feedback-based flow control in high-speed, wide-area ATM networks.

This paper gives a class of flow control algorithms for the adaptive allocation of bandwidths to virtual connections (VC) in high-speed, wide-area ATM networks. The feedback rate to the source from the network is parsimonious, with each feedback bit indicating whether the buffer at a distant switch...
