Abstract
A method of distributing network resources fairly in an ATM network that is applicable in situations where a large number of clients establish connections to a single server. The method provides a way to more evenly distribute network resources when large number of clients desire connections to a popular server. A fair percentage value is assigned to a popular server and advertised in a PTSE. The fair percentage value is associated with a reachable ATM destination address and is flooded throughout the network. When a source node desires to connect to this server, the route is chosen in accordance with the fair percentage value. Rather than always selecting the best route, the source node chooses a route at random from among a percentage of the best routes. The switches can be configured with the fair percentage value either statically via a network manager or dynamically under program control.
