ATM traffic management and congestion control using fuzzy logic

The paper focuses on the use of fuzzy logic in network management, ATM congestion control, and ATM switching. The ATM network management ensures traffic agreement at the source level in order to prevent congestion situations from occurring. The paper reviews work in the area of traffic policing and introduces a scheme for improving the performance of a fuzzy policer. The ATM fuzzy switch introduced, enhances the capabilities of the ATM switch, one of the most critical elements in the ATM network.
