Abstract
A bi-modal network connection device provides a high level of adaptability to changing connection-level loading patterns without sacrificing speed and configurability. The device can function in both a static mode and a traffic-adaptive mode. Benefits include the ability to provide high buffer utilization and throughput in ATM networks which either have very dynamic connection-level statistics or have poorly understood traffic characterization, plus the ability to assure users of minimal latency delays if desired.
