A congestion avoidance scheme for data traffic in ATM networks. The scheme achieves both efficiency and fairness, and exhibits a fast transient response. A congestion avoidance scheme for ATM networks is described which has its optimal operating point at 100% utilization and a fixed, non-zero queue delay. The scheme improves control of end-to-end delay and keeps link utilization of expensive links high despite idle periods in the input load.

Erica: explicit rate indication for congestion avoidance in ATM networks

An explicit rate indication method for congestion management in computer and telecommunication networks. Sources monitor their load and provide the information periodically to switches. The switches, in turn, compute the load level and ask the sources to adjust their rates up or down. The scheme achieves high link utilization, fair allocation of rates among contending sources and provides quick convergence.
