In credit-based flow control for ATM networks, switch buffer space is first allocated to each virtual circuit (VC) and then credit control is applied to the VC to prevent possible buffer overflow. Adaptive buffer allocation improves sharing by allowing dynamic allocation of buffer space to multiple VCs sharing the same buffer pool. This paper gives an overview of credit flow control and present...

We describe the implementation of two ATM congestion control mechanisms, credit-based ow control and ATM Forum-style ABR rate control, on the Credit Net experimental ATM LAN testbed. This document focuses speciically on the implementation choices and performance tradeoos available to the designer of a network interface card. We conclude that although credit protocols are more eecient and easier...

In next generation wireless networks, an application must be capable of rating service information in real-time and prior to initiation of the service it is necessary to check whether the end user’s account provides coverage for the requested service. However, to provide prepaid services effectively, credit-control should have minimal latency. In an endeavor to support real-time credit-control ...

Based on a simplified evolutionary game model, this article analyzes the internal mechanism of credit cheating behaviors in E-Commerce business. With regard to potentially technological or rule defaults in credit system as well as traders’ selfish rationality, presence of credit cheating is to some extent unavoidable. We then suggest a new kind of credit system, which is independently coexisten...

The financial system of the United States contains two large subsystems. The function of the first, generally referred to as monetary policy, is to control the total volume of credit for the purpose of aggregate economic stabilization. The second sub-system, which has no name, consists of a maze of regulations, institutions and tax practices designed to influence the allocation of credit, and h...
