A combination of an end-to-end closed-loop rate control mechanism for controlling the flow of cells entering a relay communication network (200) from an end system (202), along with a segment (A, B) traffic control mechanism (302, 308) for protecting the segment (A, B) against misbehaving or malfunctioning destination end systems (208) provides a novel, more efficient traffic management system and method for cell flow regulation in a cell relay communications network (200). |
