Abstract

Using ATM networks as the switching fabric for interconnecting LANs and MANs means that a strategy for bandwidth allocation must be developed to map connectionless traffic in the LAN/MAN to the ATM network which is essentially connection-oriented. This paper presents a bandwidth allocation algorithm based on bandwidth advertising and burst drop when overflow occurs. The performance is evaluated by simulation and shown to reduce Burst Loss Rate significantly.
