A connection acceptance algorithm for ATM networks based on mean and peak bit rates
Eugen Wallmeier · International Journal of Digital & Analog Communication Systems · 1990
Abstract A connection acceptance algorithm for pipes in ATM networks is presented, which allows statistical multiplexing of heterogeneous ATM traffic. The decision to accept an incoming connection is based on the mean and the peak bit rates of the incoming and existing connections. Conditions are presented, under which the algorithm guarantees that the cell loss probability of every virtual connection does not exceed a predefined permissible probability. Examples are presented which show the gain which can be reached by statistical multiplexing.
