      Statistical multiplexing was adopted in the ATM standard due to
      its potential for effective use of bandwidth.  Coping with
      diverse Quality-of-Service requirements and with the
      variable-bit rate nature of multimedia applications makes
      traffic control a challenging task. In this paper, we show the
      advantages of adopting multi-level policing mechanism for ATM
      traffic control and compare different multi-level mechanisms
      based on the Leaky Bucket, on the Sliding Window and on the
      Jumping Window mechanism
