Abstract - One of the more challenging and yet unresolved issues
which is paramount to the success of ATM networks is that of congestion
control for Available Bit Rate (ABR) traffic. Presented here is a
new congestion control algorithm based on a well-understood Adaptive Controller,
namely the Minimum Prediction Error Adaptive Controller. As such,
stability and convergence characteristics can be rigorously proved.
In addition, the work presented here distinguishes itself from others in
its direct estimation of key parameters and removal of constrained and
thus unresponsive sources.
