We propose a rate-controlled service discipline for supporting B-ISDN services. According to our approach, traffic streams from different connections can be well regulated at the output of each node based on their rate requirements. Moreover, the traffic envelope of a connection inside the network can be effectively characterized. By assuming a leaky-bucket constrained input source, we further prove that the proposed scheme can provide end-to-end delay and jitter bounds for each connection passing through a multi-hop network. Finally, we make a comparison of related works and show the effectiveness of our algorithm.
