Admission control

{{short description|Validation process for connections in communication systems}}

Admission control is a validation process in communication systems where a check is performed before a connection is established to see if current resources are sufficient for the proposed connection.

Applications

For some applications, dedicated resources (such as a wavelength across an optical network) may be needed in which case admission control has to verify availability of such resources before a request can be admitted.{{Cite journal | title= A comparison of wavelength reservation protocols for WDM optical networks | journal= Journal of Network and Computer Applications| volume= 35| issue= 2| pages= 606–618| author= M.

For more elastic applications, a total volume of resources may be needed prior to some deadline in order to satisfy a new request, in which case admission control needs to verify availability of resources at the time and perform scheduling to guarantee satisfaction of an admitted request.{{Cite web |title= Calendaring for Wide Area Networks |author= S.
