Abstract
The basic objectives of future Internet are to increase the network capacity, to offer a practical real-time service, and to develop a feasible charging scheme. These objectives introduce very strict requirements for the traffic control system. This paper presents a new simple approach for traffic management: Simple Integrated Media Access (SIMA) service. According to the SIMA concept each customer shall define only two issues before a connection establishment: a nominal bit rate (NBR) and the selection between real-time and non-real-time service classes. NBR has two purposes: it forms the basis of charging, and it defines how the network capacity is divided among different connections during overload situations. Simplicity means that, on the one hand, the network operator does not guarantee the continuous availability of network operator does not guarantee the continuous availability of nominal bit rate, and on the other hand, the user is allowed to send data with any bit rate independently of the NBR. However, the bit rate of transmission defines the cell loss probability in the case of network congestion. In this way a simple, but effective, self-regulation of traffic can be
