CONGESTION CONTROL PROTOCOLS FOR INTERCONNECTED LANS SUPPORTING VOICE AND DATA TRAFFIC
Congestion control schemes in LANs interconnected by bridges are
presented. The networks are assumed to support voice and data traffic
through the use of prioritized media access control protocols. The
proposed congestion control protocols throttle the data input traffic to
the network using special feedback messages called choke packets,
thereby dynamically allocating bandwidth to voice and data traffic in
case of bridge overload. A simulation study has been carried out to
demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed protocols.
Simulation results have shown that the protocols yield higher bridge
throughput efficiency for both voice and data traffic with minimum
protocol overhead
