ABSTRACT:
A flow control method and apparatus for controlling flow through an output link in a communication network modifies a prior art Phantom flow control method by preventing a portion of the total bandwidth of the output link from being used when the maximum allowable cell rate through that output link is calculated. Additionally, the method and apparatus calculates the alpha smoothing parameters as a function of the number of virtual channels flowing through the output link.
