ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a transmission technique for the B-lSDN(Broadband Integrated Service Digital Network). Congestion problems are unavoidable in the ATM networks, since various traffic typos coexist in the networks. The preventive congestion control algorithm is widely used for the real time traffics such as voice and video. The reactive congestion control algorithm works well for the non-real time traffic within a short distance. A mixed traffic control algorithm is proposed, which works either preventively or reactively based on traffic types.
The proposed algorithm sets a high and low threshold value at the output buffers and modifies the EPRCA(Enhanced Proportion Rate Control Algorithm) to control loss-sensitive cells. Delay-sensitive cells are handled by the priority control and the UPC(Usage Parameter Control) algorithm. The performance analysis shows that the proposed traffic control algorithm works well for both the VBR(Variab1e Bit Rate) and ABR(Available Bit Rate) traffic with small buffers
