Abstract
The rate-based congestion control is one of the most promising schemes for available bit rate (ABR) service in asynchronous transfer mode-local area networks (ATM-LANs). This paper points out the possibility of goodput degradation when the number of connections through a bottleneck queue increases with the binary feedback-type rate-based congestion control where transmission rate is changed on the basis of additive increase-multiplicative decrease principle. Then, to overcome this problem, a feedback-type rate-based congestion control with adaptive parameter is proposed in which rate incremental factor is adapted according to the number of active connections which can be detected by observing the fluctuation of queue length. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has fine power characteristics for any number of connections sharing the bottleneck node. © 1997 Scripta Technical, Inc.
