Flow control in a network is implemented based on aggregate traffic measurements. For example, in an ATM network only the aggregate background (CBR/VBR) traffic rate and the aggregate ABR traffic rate are used, in contrast with other schemes that require per-connection rate measurements or variables. An explicit rate is calculated at discrete time instances using a simple proportional controller model. Explicit rate computations can be performed entirely by software, and the interval between computations is large enough to keep the processing overhead required of the switch very low. In addition, methods consistent with the present invention achieve max-min fairness and MCR plus equal share in a natural way without any additional computation or information about bottleneck rates.
