Abstract
Methods are disclosed for the adaptive control of windows and rates in networks. A periodic, one-bit feedback signal is combined with systematic damping and control of a gain signal to achieve a minimum bandwidth and a fair share of excess available bandwidth among virtual circuits in the network in a timely manner. The methods are demonstrated using a First-Come-First-Served service discipline, a Weighted Round-Robin service discipline, or a combination of the two disciplines.
