<p>A method and system for controlling congestion in an ATM network (160) comprises the steps of pre-allocating, for a pre-determined interval of time, a set of burst access parameters to a set of pre-allocated virtual paths between a set of source node (100a-100c) and destination node (100a-100c) pairs in the ATM network (160), and controlling, at the burst level, the traffic at each source node based on the pre-allocated set of burst parameters and without communicating with other nodes in the ATM network (160). Specifically, the network (160), for a pre-determined interval of time, pre-allocates a set of virtual paths between each source-destination node (100a-100c) pair in the network (160), pre-allocates a set of maximum permitted rates to the pre-allocated set of virtual paths, respectively, and pre-assigns a set of burst access thresholds to a set of service classes, respectively.</p> |
