Abstract

See full text

Acknowledgment of acceptance of a request for bandwidth for a block transfer connection is delayed at the public network side of a boundary between a public network and a private destination network. As a result, each network element within the private destination network can either reject or reduce the requested rate encoded in a resource management (RM) cell to a level that the network element can grant. An acknowledgment RM cell is only then issued from the private destination network, which indicates either acceptance, rejection, or acceptance at a lower rate. When the source of the connection receives the acknowledgment RM cell from the private destination network, it begins to transmit at a rate that the private destination network and destination end system can support.
