This article presents a novel approach to ATM congestion control for ABR (Allowed Bit Rate) service. This approach can achieve a desired fair link utilization using adaptive filters to prevent both network collapse and the 'beat down' problem.

โฆ Synopsis
Many rate control mechanisms for ABR service have been proposed in literature, based on heuristics. In this paper, we propose a new ratebased control mechanism for ABR service. A controller that switches between a Rough Adjustment Method (RAM) and a Delicate Adjustment Method (DAM) is used in the mechanism to achieve a fast response as well as stability. The convergence of the mechanism can still be guaranteed even if there is a large delay in the system, which is theoretically proven in this paper. Simulation results are used to illustrate the effectiveness of this new mechanism.

In this paper, we present a new explicit rate ABR switch algorithm which takes advantage of the per-VC queueing and scheduling mechanisms of next-generation ATM switches to obtain an efficient algorithm of low complexity. The performance characteristics of the proposed algorithm such as fairness, li
