Shivendra S. Panwar received the B.Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, in 1981, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in 1983 and 1986, respectively. He joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of New York, Brooklyn (now Polytechnic University), where he is now an Associate Professor. Since 1996, he has served as the Director of the New York State Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications (CATT). He spent the summer of 1987 as a Visiting Scientist at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, and has been a Special Consultant to AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel, NJ. He has also worked with NYNEX Science and Technology, Fujitsu Network Communications, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Lucent Technologies, Chase Manhattan Bank, Securities Industries Automation Corporation, Frequency Electronics, LNR, Inc., and the US Department of State, on a variety of projects. His research interests include the performance analysis and design of high speed networks, which has been supported by the National Science Foundation. He is a member of Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Xi and a senior member of the IEEE. He has served as the Secretary of the Technical Affairs Council of the IEEE Communications Society (1992–1993). He was the Co-chairman of the Technical Program Committee and a member of the Organizing Committee of the Second IEEE Network Management and Control Workshop, Tarrytown, NY, September 1993. He has also been a member of the Technical Program Committee of INFOCOM’90, ’93 and ’97. He is the co-editor of two books, Network Management and Control, vol. II, and Multimedia Communications and Video Coding, both published by Plenum.

N2 - A generic weight-proportional max-min (WPMM) policy has been proposed for the ATM available bit rate (ABR) service. This policy generalizes the classical max-min policy by supporting the minimum cell rate (MCR) requirement, the peak cell rate (PCR) constraint, and a generic weight for each connection. This paper presents a distributed ABR flow control algorithm for the the WPMM policy and gives a formal proof of the distributed algorithm's convergence to the WPMM policy under any network configuration and any set of link distances. Simulation results on various network configurations demonstrate that the distributed algorithm has a very fast convergence property.
