GCRA(T, τ):                                Compute theoretical arrival time, tat, for each cell, starting with tat=0 for 1st cell. Let t = actual arrival time.

Case 1: t < tat - τ: too early: cell is nonconforming; do not change tat

Case 2: t ≥ tat - τ: conforming; tatnew = max(t, tat) + T

 

Effective bandwidth requirement for a connection with max delay D and max queue M: max(1/T, M/D)
