Bandwidth management and congestion control in plaNET

Abstract
The protocols and mechanisms necessary for network bandwidth management and congestion control are addressed. The discussion draws heavily on the lessons learned from the design and implementation of plaNET, a high-speed packet-switching system for integrated voice, video, and data communications. A general overview of the mechanisms involved is given. The individual components of the system are discussed. Most of the conclusions are general and can be applied to other high-speed networks, including asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) systems.
