Abstract

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