 | | While the problem of congestion control is still under discussion in the ATM Forum, it is expected that the final solution will use a variety of techniques, including end-to-end, link-by-link, rate-based, and credit-based traffic-flow control. |
 | | With end-to-end control, the network measur es the minimum available bandwidth along the connection and communicates the amount of bandwidth to the application, which then transmits at the appropriate rate. |
