BACKGROUND In the past decade the world has seen an explosion in Internet activity and
with it has come increased expectations for performance and services. Internet users now …

A metering device has a first token bucket with a profile, a rate, and a maximum number of
tokens. The device has another token bucket with its own profile, two associated rates, and a …

The overall quality of network connections has a significant impact on the performance of
networked applications. As a result, Quality-of-Service (QoS) management for networked …

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 …

Differentiated services architecture is receiving wide attention as a framework for providing
different levels of service in the Internet. Current architecture allows customers to mark their …

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 …

Traffic conditioners play a key role in implementing the Assured Service in the framework of
the DiffServ approach. In this paper, we propose a traffic conditioner for the Internet Assured …

In this paper, we propose a parameter optimization method for RIO (RED (Random Early
Detection) with In and Out) scheme for Assured Service (AS) in Differentiated Services …

The differentiated services architecture promises to provide QoS guarantees through
scalable service differentiation among multimedia and best-effort flows in the Internet. Traffic …

Many studies have explored the TCP throughput problem in DiffServ networks. Several new
marking schemes have been proposed in order to solve this problem. Even if these marking …
