Abstract
The available bit rate (ABR) service has been developed to support data applications over asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. The network continuously monitors its traffic and provides feedback to the source end systems. This article explains the rules that the sources have to follow to achieve a fair and efficient allocation of network resources.

VBR video: tradeoffs and potentials

TL;DR: An underlying theme of this paper is that increased interaction between the video and network design has potential for improving overall decoded video quality without changing the network capacity.

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.

The ERICA switch algorithm for ABR traffic management in ATM networks

TL;DR: In this article, an explicit rate indication for congestion avoidance (ERICA) scheme for rate-based feedback from asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switches is described. But the scheme is designed to achieve high link utilization with low delays and fast transient response and is also fair and robust to measurement errors caused by the variations in ABR demand and capacity.

Connection-dependent threshold model: a generalization of the Erlang multiple rate loss model

TL;DR: Two extensions of the Erlang multi-rate loss model (EMLM) are reviewed, whereby the call-level quality-of-service (QoS) of ATM networks is assessed and the connection-dependent threshold model (CDTM) is proposed, which resembles the threshold models, but the state dependency is individualized among call-connections.

A control-theoretic ABR explicit rate algorithm for ATM switches with per-VC queueing

TL;DR: This paper takes advantage of the per-VC queueing/scheduling capability of the new generation of ATM switches and develops an ABR rate-based congestion control algorithm using a control-theoretic approach to achieve a simple to implement and yet complete control of the stability, rate of convergence, and performance of ABR service.

Analysis of the increase and decrease algorithms for congestion avoidance in computer networks

TL;DR: It is shown that a simple additive increase and multiplicative decrease algorithm satisfies the sufficient conditions for con- vergence to an efficient and fair state regardless of the starting state of the network.

Congestion control and traffic management in ATM networks: recent advances and a survey

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the selection criterion for selection between rate-based and credit-based approach and the key points of the debate between these two approaches are presented. And several other schemes that were considered are described.

A binary feedback scheme for congestion avoidance in computer networks with a connectionless network layer

TL;DR: The scheme is distributed, adapts to the dynamic state of thenetwork, converges to the optimal operating point, is quite simple to implement, and has low overhead while operational.
