PROCEDE DE CONTROLE DE FLUX D'INFORMATION NUMERIQUE

摘要

A method for the control of flows of digital information between a source and a destination linked by a network of intermediate switching entities consists in carrying out a control of flows without the participation of the intermediate switching entities in estimating a state of load of the intermediate switching entities and in estimating a state of congestion of the destination to control a number of cells that may be transmitted by the source to the destination. Application to the control of flows in an ATM switch.
