Abstract
An integrated method for congestion control uses access regulator to control the admission of information from a communication device into a network according to a predetermined function characterized by a set of parameters. A node within the network sends a signal indicating a level of congestion in the node to the access regulator, and at least one of the parameters is adjusted in response to the signal. The parameter may additionally be adjusted according to other parameters which are selected according to stability and transient response criteria.
