Abstract
An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) traffic control framework is based on an integrated usage parameter control (UPC) approach, which approach provides a unified and scalable solution to the issue of quality-of-services (QOS) levels over a range of anticipated services in ATM based networks. The approach is consistent with emerging ATM Forum and CCITT standards. Additionally, a UPC-based call and burst admission control providing the desired QOS over periods of network overload by call/burst admission control and traffic shaping of source stream preferably uses a dual leaky bucket.
