Abstract
The use of ATM networks in interconnecting LANs and MANs results in a bandwidth allocation problem due to the connectionless nature of most LAN/MAN traffic. A well known scheme is to use bandwidth advertising in which available bandwidth is broadcast to allow for users contention. This paper presents an enhancement over the basic scheme that will improve the burst loss rate significantly at high network loads.
