In this paper, we present a new explicit rate ABR switch algorithm which takes advantage of the per‐VC queueing and scheduling mechanisms of next‐generation ATM switches to obtain an efficient algorithm of low complexity. The performance characteristics of the proposed algorithm such as fairness, link utilization, and queue control are illustrated via simulations. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
