In this paper? we present results of a study of flow control in ATM networks. Two classes of Row control are described: preventive and reactive. A preventive control, which uses a static resources allocation, seems inadequate to handle rough traffic in high speed networks. On the other hand, the reactive control schemes, which employ a closed-loop feedback mechanism, seem more attractive than the preventive control schemes, especially in ATM networks. Four ATM service categories are provided to serve a variety of users. To enable each service class to function effectively two closed-loop flow control mechanisms: rate-based and credit-based, have been introduced for ATM networks. Rate-based flow control schemes use the rate of traffic flowing from the source to control the transmission rate. In this paper, a number of variants of rate-based schemes are described and analysed. Credit-based schemes use window Row control where a traffic source is allowed to transmit data only when there is available buffer space in the downstream node. In this paper, a number of credit-based schemes are also described and analysed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. |
