Priority Statistical Multiplexing of Mixed VBR and CBR Traffic in B-ISDN/ATM with a Threshold Algorithm

As broadband integrated networks such as B-ISDN/ATM are coming closer to reality, and as more advanced variable rate source coding algorithms are being developed, the accommodation of variable bit rate (VBR) sources, such as VBR coded video, together with the existing constant bit rate (CBR) sources is becoming a necessity.
