Abstract
In this chapter a simple, credit-based flow control solution for IP networks is presented. In contrast to several proposals that utilise flow-level control (where control rules are applied to the source of considered flow), our solution is designed as link-level control system, where every set of directly connected network nodes creates a separate control system. This approach allows the network administrator to apply proposed solution to selected area of IP network. It is particularly important in case of the network that the end (leaf) systems are out of control of network administrator (i.e. mobile systems), thus the flow control mechanism cannot be applied to them. The results of experimental research in real IP network show that in such case the proposed solution is able to avoid congestion and noticeably improve the effectiveness of data transmission within considered network area.
