Rec. No. : I.370

Title : Congestion management for the ISDN frame relaying bearer \
	service

Study Group : XVIII - ISDN

Version : New

Date of adoption : 1991

Notes :	


Recommendation I.370 describes U-plane based congestion management 
strategy and mechanisms for ISDN frame relay bearer services. It 
covers both network and end user mechanisms and responsibilities to 
avoid or recover from periods of congestion. C-plane procedures at 
the user network interface other than clearing or not accepting calls 
are not recommended. Procedures, objectives and requirements for 
C-plane congestion management between networks are for further study. 
Special provisions for the treatment of continuous bit stream oriented 
(CBO) traffic is outside the scope of Recommendation I.370. This 
strategy is intended to operate for access channel rates up to 
2048 kbit/s.
