ATM traffic management (cont.)
1. Negotiation of traffic contract before transmission
Traffic contract involves traffic parameters and
QoS parameters
2. Traffic control mechanisms (enforcement of contract)
Connection Admission Control (CAC): the network
decides if a connection request can be accepted
Usage Parameter Control (UPC): the network
detects violations of negotiated parameters and
takes appropriate action (e.g. cell discarding or
cell tagging => CLP bit)
Feedback control (flow control of ABR service)
