Abstract
A switch for transferring UBR traffic on an ATM network. The switch includes a mechanism for receiving UBR traffic from the network and sending UBR traffic to the network. The switch includes a mechanism for prohibiting a predefined condition in the UBR traffic, the prohibiting mechanism connected to the receiving and sending mechanism. Alternatively, the switch includes a mechanism for receiving UBR traffic in connections from the network and sending UBR traffic in the connections to the network. The switch includes a mechanism for dynamic analysis of the connections of UBR traffic to determine whether the connections have UBR traffic which behaves or which misbehaves. Alternatively, the switch includes a mechanism for receiving UBR traffic in connections from the network and sending UBR traffic in the connections to the network. The switch includes a mechanism for reevaluating connections to determine whether the connections have UBR traffic which behaves or which misbehaves at a predetermined interval. A method for transferring UBR traffic on an ATM network.
