Abstract

A source traffic shaper based on prediction of the behaviour of the ATM B-ISDN access policer is discussed. Using this approach, it is possible, within a policed virtual circuit, to reduce both loss and delay of the high-priority cells at the expense of delay of the low-priority cells. The priority-based traffic shaping is beneficial for sources generating cell streams with differing service requirements, e.g. multimedia sources.
