This paper deals with traffic shaping performed at the ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL). First, the application of a shaping scheme based on the Generic Cell Rate Algorithm is discussed. Later on, a mathematical model for the traffic shaping scheme at the AAL using message mode is introduced. Finally, with the use of the mathematical model some results related to the performance of the shaping scheme applied in workstations running a file transfer application are presented.
