Networks performance based connection admission control model in ATM networks

Connection Admission Control (CAC) for ATM networks should be based on information that is available locally, or that can be gathered easily from neighbours. We propose a method for implementing CAC, which is based on a Distributed Dynamic Routing procedure, and which uses the Network performance parameters that have been gathered at different nodes of the network, These network performance parameters define what different nodes are capable of offering to the connections. The method will find the ''best'' route that is able to meet the QoS constraints imposed by the user.
