Abstract
A constant space algorithm for rate based flow control in large computer networks. The switches in the network dynamically measure their unused link capacity, and signal sessions with higher rates to reduce their rates to that unused link capacity. Sessions with lower rates are allowed to increase their rates. This algorithm is suitable for both ATM networks and suitably modified TCP networks.
