ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for shaping ATM cell traffic emitted onto a virtual path connection in an ATM network are described. Component virtual channel connections are arbitrated at an aggregation point utilizing a hierarchical, multi-level arbitration technique. The technique provides both virtual path shaping and controllability of underlying virtual channel connections with an improved fairness performance amongst all the aggregating virtual channel connections.
