       The simulation results for the sample  switch algorithm will be
       presented.

       There are four sets of results:

       1. LAN Configuration with low initial cell rate
       2. LAN Configuration with high (=link rate) initial cell rate.
       3. WAN configuration with low initial cell rate.
       4. WAN configuration with high (=link rate) initial cell rate

       It is shown that the scheme performs fairly and achieves fast
       convergence in all four cases. The queue lengths are small and
       result in small cell transfer delay.
