Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you all for giving me so much information! I have read some, and
almost get a clear idea of how ATM manage the congestion control. But I
still get one question: generally speaking, TCP/IP is equal to the
transport and network layer in the OSI model, and it seems that the ATM
works on the Data Link Layer (?). They serve different function in the OSI
model. Through they all have congestion control facility, how to compare
mechanism in different layer? Does the topic "Critically compare the
congestion control on TCP/IP and ATM" mean only compare of the algorithms
of them?
Thank you again for you valuable help!
rgds,
Truly yours,
Jianbo Huang :-)
