Abstract
A network component performs flow admission control. A function F(t) is provided which characterizes resources available at the network component. Information characterizing a proposed flow is received and used to define an envelope A(t). It is then attempted to fit the envelope within F(t) and the flow is accepted or rejected based on the attempt to fit the envelope.
