This paper introduces a new packet marking algorithm that can be used in the context of
Assured Forwarding (AF) in the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) framework. The new …

Fairness is one of the important problems in assured forwarding (AF) performance in the
differentiated services (DiffServ) framework [An architecture for differentiated services, RFC …

In the context of Differentiated Service, the Assured Forwarding class recently proposed by
the IETF offers the capabilities of distinguishing two or more classes of packets, based on bit …

The Internet is facing a twofold challenge: to increase network capacity in order to
accommodate a steadily increasing number of users; to guarantee the quality of service for …

The differentiated services architecture is receiving wide attention as a framework for
providing different levels of service according to a service profile in the Internet. The current …

This paper describes the implementation of a system to deliver Quality of Service for IP flows
using a DiffServ-like packet marking mechanism. The system uses an unmodified …

The need to offer different service levels on the Internet has encouraged the research in
differentiated services (diffserv or DS)(K. Nichols et al., 1998; S. Blake et al., 1998). The …

The issue of resource management in multi-domain Differentiated Services (DiffServ)
networks has attracted a lot of attention from researchers who have proposed various …

In the context of active queue management, intelligent dropping algorithms have been
proposed to achieve a better link utilization with TCP. We apply this research to the problem …

The Assured Forwarding (AF) service of the IETF DiffServ architecture provides a qualitative
service differentiation between classes of traffic, in the sense that a low-priority class …
