Abstract
In ATM networks the requirement of providing the negotiated Quality of service (QOS) needs an efficient flow enforcement technique that will result in preventive congestion control. A very effective technique is the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) method. In this paper, we have suggested improvement to the EWMA and call it the Enhanced EWMA (EEWMA). Simulation results show that the EEWMA is consistently better than the EWMA in most of the situations. We present comparisons of cell loss under various conditions. No theoretical analysis is presented.

Keywords: ATM; congestion control; flow control; flow enforcement.
