In a best effort type service of an ATM communication network for circulating an RM cell, a subscriber's switchboard holds the latest route information, and the RM cell is used for short distance communication between the communication terminal and the subscriber's switchboard. For a plurality of connections accommodated in the switchboard and using a transmission line or a route in common, information on the allowable transmission rate, the actual transmission rate, the full bandwidth and full input bandwidth of the transmission line or the route, and the number of connections using in common the transmission line are collected and held. A transmission rate acceptable for the caller's terminal is calculated for each connection on the basis of the information. An increase of a memory capacity is restricted by providing a common buffer and managing it by a pointer value. A list of cells which have arrived simultaneously is prepared, and is managed by the pointer value. The cells are sent out at different timings so as not to be discarded. Even when congestion is solved, the restriction is not quickly lifted but control is effected in consideration of the increment of the cell flow rate immediately after the lift. Convolution calculation is made only once for determining the overall mean cell loss ratio and consequently the amount of calculation is reduced.

A multi-layer photonic network and nodes used therein are provided. The multi-layer photonic network comprises a packet network which performs switching and transfer in packet units, and a photonic network comprising optical transmission lines and photonic switches, and which accommodates the packet network. The multi-layer photonic network also has a two layer structure of optical wavelength links (O-LSPs) and packet links (E-LSPs). The O-LSPs are constituted by the optical transmission lines and comprise optical wavelength switching capability (LSC) which is capable of switching in optical wavelength units and packet switching capability (PSC) which is capable of switching in packet units at both their ends. The E-LSPs include the O-LSPs and PSCs at both their ends. Each node includes a section for automatically establishing an O-LSP according to an establishment request for an E-LSP while taking account of path information including path cost, resource consumption, and traffic quantity.

In a best effort type service of an ATM communication network for circulating an RM cell, a subscriber's switchboard holds the latest route information, and the RM cell is used for short distance communication bewtween the communication terminal and subscriber's switchboard. For a plurality of connections accommodated in the switchboard and using a transmission line or a route in common, information on the allowable transmission rate, the actual transmission rate, the full bandwidth and full input bandwidth of the transmission line or the route, and the number of connections using in common the transmission line are collected and held.

摘要:
When bandwidth in an ATM network is controlled so as to increase in accordance with a user request, there is a considerable delay from the occurrence of the request until the bandwidth is actually changed, and there is therefore a need to control the traffic flowing in ATM network transmission paths faster and more flexibly. There is also a need to decrease the probability of overbooking occurring when deciding whether or not to accept a bandwidth change request. Route information that includes information relating to residual bandwidth is therefore collected in advance by subscriber switches that serve terminals. In response to a request from a user, a subscriber switch alone replies rapidly. During this process, account is taken of the fact that there are a plurality of bandwidth change requests within the same residual bandwidth measurement period, and a portion of the measured residual bandwidth is held for other bandwidth change requests. This enables the aforesaid delay to be shortened. In addition, it is sufficient if the functions corresponding to the plurality of protocols employed by users are provided at and only at the subscriber switches which directly serve those users, whereby the hardware configuration of the transit switches etc. can be simplified. In addition, bandwidth can be allocated with high precision.
