Abstract: | The protocols and mechanisms necessary for network bandwidth management and congestion control are addressed. The discussion draws heavily on the lessons learned from the design and implementation of plaNET, a high-speed packet-switching system for integrated voice, video, and data communications. A general overview of the mechanisms involved is given. The individual components of the system are discussed. Most of the conclusions are general and can be applied to other high-speed networks, including asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) systems |
