FRP (Fast Reservation Protocol) is a recently proposed protocol which utilizes a unique feature of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) technology. In this paper, we provide an exact analysis for a class of FRP to obtain burst (a protocol data unit of FRP) level performance of FRP. One of the main features of ATM is that the transmission rate can be adjusted according to the network congestion states. In our modeling, this feature is incorporated in such a way that the bandwidth a source requests is reduced if an attempt to reserve the bandwidth is rejected by the network. A rationale behind this is that rejection of the bandwidth request indicates network congestion. Therefore, the request with the smaller bandwidth after the reservation failure enables better sharing of network resources, which results in performance improvement. To solve our model, which contains a very huge number of system states, we introduce a new numerical approach which is an extension of Sumita and Rieders's Replacement Process Approach. Through numerical examples, the appropriate transmission rate control method is examined, and considerations on backoff time and overhead of RM cells are also presented.
