A new feedback congestion control policy for long propagation delays.

This paper presents a new feedback congestion control mechanism for the flow control of the best-effort available bit rate (ABR) traffic in ATM networks. This new mechanism belongs to the class of feedback control schemes that ensure no data losses and operate based on simple `stop' and `start&...
