Abstract In this paper we outline a simple strategy to manage bandwidth allocation and congestion control and to guarantee service requirements in a multiservice ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) network. We propose a network architecture based on a core network, making available a limited number of quality of service profiles, and an access network, made of edge adapters in charge to match the user's requirements with the network's available quality of service profiles and to shape input traffic to achieve high network throughput. The connection admission rule is presented, and edge adapter architecture and design examples are given. The effectiveness of the scheme is demonstrated by numerical results which report the network utilization performance when the proposed core network policies and edge adapter design apply.
