ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling traffic in a digital communication network to avoid data loss due to congestion utilizes both credit-based and rate-based traffic control approaches within a common framework, and adjusts the rate at which data is transmitted from a source in accordance with feedback in a form of credit values from a destination reflecting the ability of the network to transmit data and the destination to receive data. In one embodiment, the destination receives the information about network congestion, and, knowing its own capacity to receive more data, generates a credit in the form a numeric value which is fed back to the source so that the source adjusts its transmission rate to avoid data loss due to congestion in the network.
