abstract = {Fair packet discarding (FPD) is a mechanism which
provides incentives to users for participation in congestion control, such that
ATM networks can operate in a more efficient manner. The authors study the
performance of FPD in a general network with multiple bottlenecks. By
simulations. They show that the interaction between FPD and ATM Forum's
explicit-rate flow control enables the packet-level throughput of each
connection converging to the max-min fair apportionment in a distributed manner.
With the built-in policing capability of FPD, the need of dynamic usage
parameter control for ABR service is also eliminated.}
