Abstract
In VBR connections, control cells are inserted into the stream of ATM cells. These control cells are fed back to the transmitting device. In order to allow control to be carried out efficiently, the stream of ATM cells associated with the VBR connections is measured and is supplied to a control method. The result of this control method is then, if required, entered in the information portion of control cells that are transmitted back.
