abstract = {A generic flow control (GFC) protocol is proposed
to regulate multiple terminals within the broadband-ISDN customer premises
network. The GFC protocol is based on multipriority distributed queuing preceded
by a traffic shaping function, and meets the requirements for flexible
allocation of service parameters, control of jitter and guarantee of bandwidth.
This GFC protocol provides the necessary flexibility to match the constant bit
rate (CBR) jitter performance and variable bit rate (VBR) service requirements
to the particular service type. It integrates well with usage parameter control
without imposing excessive burstiness on each virtual connection cell stream
delivered to the network. By allowing connectionless users to access at the
lowest priority, only when no higher priority users are queued, there is no
reduction in guaranteed capacity available for other VBR and CBR users.}
