    Abstract: A congestion control system for packet communications networks in which access to the network is controlled to prevent such congestion. Packets within the pre-specified statistical description of each packet source are marked as high priority ("green" packets) while packets exceeding the pre-specified characteristics are marked with a lower priority ("red" packets). The overall red packet rate is limited to prevent red packet saturation of the network. The introduction of red packets into the network is subjected to a degree of hysteresis to provide better interaction with higher layer error recovery protocols. The amount of hysteresis introduced into the red packet marking can be fixed or varied, depending on the statistics of the incoming data packets at the entry point to the network.

    Abstract: A packet communications network relies on a few simple parameters to characterize the wide variety of traffic offered to that network, such as peak bit rate, mean bit rate and average packet burst length. A better representation of many types of traffic relies on an equivalent burst length whi ch produces the same loss probability distribution, but assumes that the distributi on is uncorrelated and exponential. Access control and bandwidth management based on such an equivalent burst length produces improved decisions due to the more accurate representation of the actual traffic distribution.

    Abstract: A packet communications system provides for point-to-point packet routing and broadcast packet routing to limited subsets of nodes in the network, using a routing field in the packet header which is processed according to two different protocols. A third protocol is provided in which a packet can be broadcast to the limited subset even when launched from a node which is not a member of the subset. The routing field includes a first portion which contains the route labels necessary to deliver the packet to the broadcast subset. A second portion of the routing field contains the broadcast subset identifier which can then be used to deliver the packet to all of the members of the broadcast subset. Provision is made to backtrack deliver the packet to the last node identified before the broadcast subset if that last node is itself a member of the subset.
