METHOD FOR THE CONTROL OF FLOWS WITHIN AN ATM SWITCH WITH DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURE

摘要

The method consists in distributing a specified number n of shapers (9 1 .. 9n) to each input line card (7i), a shaper being dedicated to th e VBRnrt (Variable Bit Rate non real time) category flows as a function of the totalized mean bit rate and the n-1 other shapers being adjusted as a function of the available bit rate (AVCR) of the output ports. Application to ATM transmission networks..
