ABR FLOW CONTROL
• Features
• Goal is to make unused bandwidth available to
cooperating end-users in a fair, timely manner.
• Source has the ability to increase or decrease its
flow.
• Minimum cell rate is guaranteed by the network
with minimum cell loss.
• Rate based end-to-end closed loop model.
ABR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MODEL
2. After successful connection setup, source shall set ACR < ICR. First
in-rate cell should be forward RM cell.
3. The relative priority of data cells , FRM cells and BRM cells
( corresponding to the reverse flow ) is different at different
transmission opportunities.
SOURCE BEHAVIOR ( Cont. )
4. Cells send with the above rules should have CLP = 0.
12. The source shall reset the EFCI bit on every data cell it
sends.
