rate below a defined value at the network node????</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>could someone tell me how to control the rate of
a flow ( I mean to force the rate to below a certain value )at a network node
along the transmission path? Is it right to buffer the traffic with rate
higher than allowed value and then when the buffer overflow , dropping is
applied. Is it the only way? Is there a way to avoid dropping and at the
same time control flow rate at the network node?</FONT></DIV>

advance</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
