Definition and performance analysis of a simple, ABR-like congestion control scheme for satellite ATM networks with guaranteed loss performance.

We describe an ATM system architecture for satellite communications. The proposed architecture includes on-board switching, and supports the ATM traffic categories defined in previous specifications. In this framework, a critical issue is the control of congestion phenomena. In particular, the appli...
