ABSTRACT:
A network device that controls the communication of data frames between stations performs an admission control procedure to reduce congestion on the network device. The network device receives data frames from a number of receive ports and reads a portion of a received data frame to determine a priority associated with the received data frame. When admission control is enabled, the network device determines whether to drop the received data frame based on the priority or some other predetermined criteria.
