Abstract

A model of multiservice network architecture (M-architecture) is presented. An attempt is made to describe the traffic management and control schemes in a systematic way. The basic concepts are developed, and examples are given that indicate how the proposed framework can be used to solve multiplexing, routing, and flow control problems in the ISDN. The emphasis is on the traffic control schemes. The M-architecture can be regarded as either a reference architecture for future multiservice networks or an abstract model of traffic management and control in currently used networks.<>
