In a method of controlling the flow of cells in an asynchronous network cell flow, in upstream and downstream portions of a virtual connection is controlled by respective upstream and downstream control loops employing resource management (RM) cells. The degree of backward coupling between the two control loops is adjusted to optimize network stability and response time by filtering the downstream Backward Explicit Rate or monitoring the degree of congestion at the boundary between the control loops.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 4, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 4, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 4, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
