Abstract
A method distributes connection admission control. Traffic flows are distributed locally at network nodes based on determined path weights and dynamic link costs. A traffic source node is sent a back-off signal if a distributing node becomes congested. A received request to admit a new traffic flow to the communications network is admitted if the node receiving the request has not received a back-off signal, and is rejected if the node receiving the request has received a back-off signal and fails to redistribute its traffic flows. Distributed connection admission control is allowed in which only local events need to be monitored to decide whether to admit a new traffic flow or not.
