CCRM Closed-loop Flow Control
Lucent’s closed-loop, flow control architecture can use CCRM cells to notify
other FCPs of network congestion or availability. CCRM cells are normally generated
at the RM cell generation rate if the circuit is active.

Figure 5-3 shows an example of CCRM closed-loop flow control between two
CBX 500 switches.
Figure 5-3. CCRM Closed-loop Flow Control
On Switch B, the FCP in IOM 2 generates RM cells to control the rate of data
transmitted by IOM 2 on Switch A. IOM 2 on Switch B also determines the type of
RM cell to generate by looking at the logical port setting on IOM 1 on Switch B.
