Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling the data transfer rates of data sources in an asynchronous transfer mode-based network utilizes maximum and minimum data transfer rates of sources in the network. A switch instructs data sources within the network to modify their data transfer rates by detecting 'potential congestion' and 'congested' states.
