A CONGESTION CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR MULTIPOINT-TO-POINT ABR SERVICE IN ATM NETWORKS
一种用于ATM网中ABR多点对点连接的拥塞控制算法

Study of congestion control for multipoint-to-point connections are still in early phases. So far the related works focus on extending point-to-point algorithms to multipoint-to-point environment, which can implement "source-based fairness" easily. But "source-based fairness" ineans no fairness between VCs at all. So "VC/source based fairness" may be the better choice. In this paper, issues about designing VC/source based congestion control algorithms are deeply studied. A set of design principles and a congestion control algorithm are proposed in the first time. Simulation results show that this algorithm can implement "VC/source based fairness", converge fast to steady state, and have high link utilization.
