Abstract

A method for the control of flows particularly within an ATM switch transmission network with a distributed architecture. The method distributes a specified number n of shapers to each input line card, a specific shaper being dedicated to the VBRnrt (Variable Bit Rate non real time) category flows as a function of the totalized mean bit rate, and n−1 other shapers being adjusted as a function of the available bit rate (AVCR) of the output ports.
