Paths between all source destination pairs in a communication network should be chosen such that an overall good utilization of network resources is ensured, and hence high throughput, low loss and low latency achieved. This paper describes about Path optimization and congestion control in ATM networks. It mainly covers highlights the proposed path management approach with its advantages. . For Path optimization a new algorithm called HV/HVO is used and for bad path avoidance a single bit called SIGNAL bit is used to avoid bad paths and to control congestion. The performance results of the proposed path management approach are presented. The simulation results showed that the algorithm find the optimal path from a specific source to destination
