Abstract
A central issue in congestion control for the available bit rate (ABR) service in ATM networks is the computation of the fair rate for every connection at each switching node in the network. The objective is to determine the fair rate for all the connections in a distributed network under dynamic changes in the absence of centralized knowledge about the network, and without the synchronization of different network components. The authors study the problem of fair rate allocation, specifying the requirements of a fair rate allocation algorithm, and provide a survey of various proposed fair rate allocation strategies in the context of the ABR service.

Congestion Control with Explicit Rate Indication

TL;DR: An asynchronous distributed algorithm is presented for optimal rate calculation across the network, where optimality is understood in the maxmin sense and the algorithm quickly converges to the optimal rates and is shown to be well-behaved in transience.

The ERICA Switch Algorithm for ABR Traffic Management in ATM Networks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an explicit rate indication scheme for congestion avoidance in ATM networks, where the network switches monitor their load on each link, determining a load factor, the available capacity, and the number of currently active virtual channels.

Processor sharing flows in the internet

TL;DR: This paper explores how a new congestion control algorithm — Rate Control Protocol (RCP) — comes much closer to emulating PS over a broad range of operating conditions, and shows that under a wide range of traffic characteristics and network conditions, RCP’s performance is very close to ideal processor sharing.

Bottleneck Flow Control

TL;DR: The problem of optimally choosing message rates for users of a store-and-forward network is analyzed and a generalized definition of ideal tradeoff is introduced to provide more flexibility in the choice of message rates.

Intelligent congestion control for ABR service in ATM networks

TL;DR: A rate-based scheme that is now referred to by the ATM Forum as 'intelligent congestion control' and is currently considered as one of the most promising approaches to traffic management of available bit rate (ABR) service is described.
