Abstract
Method and apparatus for controlling traffic flow in a wideband integrated services digital network including an asynchronous time division multiplexed switch network and a plurality of terminals operating at various data rates and providing different types of service. Control of traffic flow in the network is achieved by delaying data cells or allowing them to be lost, within limits that are predetermined as a function of the type of service provided by the terminals.
