The system compares the predicted ATM quality of service parameters with the specified ATM quality of service parameters. Whenever at least one of the expected ATM quality of service parameters is worse than the corresponding specified ATM quality of service parameter, the system rejects the path or connection. The system may then either test an alternate path through the network or not provide the service.Field of SearchControl of data admission to the networkMeasurement of the average data flow rate End-to-end flow control Based on data flow rate measurement Least cost or minimum delay routing Determination of communication parameters Measurement of flow rate of messages having an address header Using a particular learning algorithm or technique NETWORK CONFIGURATION DETERMINATION Spare channel Having a plurality of nodes performing distributed switching | |
