Abstract

In ABR connections, control cells are inserted into the stream of ATM cells. These control cells are returned to the transmission means. In order to be able to implement an efficient control, the stream of ATM cells belonging to ABR connections is measured and supplied to a control procedure. The result of this control procedure is then potentially entered into the information part of the returned control cells.
