Abstract
Methods and apparatus for an ATM network for determining an allowed cell rate without the introduction of oscillations by using a average cell rate of all virtual circuits. Each ATM switch may be configured to calculate an allowed cell rate (ACR) for each connection between adjacent ATM switches along the virtual circuit and to relay this information back to a source using a BRM cell.
