In ATM networks, the Available Bit Rate (ABR) service enables data sources to ee-ciently utilize network resources without adversely aaecting the performance of non-ABR, guaranteed traac such as video. Most research to date on ABR performance has not used realistic assumptions. Unrealistic assumptions such as persistent data sources and no non-ABR traac, as well as poor TCP models may lead to m...
