It is widely agreed that the Internet architecture should offer some type of service
differentiation, so that some traffic classes get better QoS than others. This dissertation …

Internet applications and users have very diverse quality of service expectations, making the
same-service-to-all model of the current Internet inadequate and limiting. There is a …

Internet applications and users have very diverse service expectations, making the current
same-service-to-all model inadequate and limiting. In the relative differentiated services …

The proportional service model has gained attention as an effective solution for quantitative
service differentiation in IP networks. In particular, this differentiation scheme is controllable …

For the past decade, a lot of Internet research has been devoted to providing different levels
of service to applications. Initial proposals for service differentiation provided strong service …

The current Internet assumes the best-effort service model. In this model, the network
allocates bandwidth among all the instantaneous users as best it can, and attempts to serve …

Today, flows crossing the Internet are not equally sensitive to loss or delay variations. For
several years, a lot of research has been done to enhance the IP stack to solve the problem …

Differentiated services are a suitable solution to Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in the
Internet while the number of users keeps growing. The solution is suitable, because it scales …

Abstract The Olympic Service Model is a proposal for providing service differentiation in the
Internet. With this model, those users who pay more receive a higher amount of network …

Advances in networks during the past decades have fostered the deployment of a variety of
Internet applications. Many of these applications have a range of Quality-of-Service (QoS) …
