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

In resource marking theory, users adapt their rates according to their utility functions and
congestion signals from the network. Using a special type of utility function, this leads to a …

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 …

Mechanisms for achieving fair bandwidth sharing have been a hot research topic for many
years. Protection of well-behaved flows and possible simplification of end-to-end congestion …

Recent demands for real time applications have given rise to a need for Quality of Service
(QoS) in the Internet. Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is one of such efforts currently …

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 this paper, we propose a traffic conditioner with promotion and fairness guarantee (TC/spl
I. bar/PFG) schemes to amend the inappropriate marking by conventional traffic …

A research issue under investigation in the context of differentiated services (DiffServ) is the
fair distribution of bandwidth between aggregates sharing the same assured forwarding (AF) …
