The current best-effort infrastructure in the Internet lacks key characteristics in terms of delay,
jitter, and loss, which are required for multimedia applications (voice, video, and data) …

The differentiated services architecture (diffserv) includes lightweight mechanisms for
service differentiation in the Internet. The primary motivation for diffserv has been enabling …

The Differentiated Services architecture provides router mechanisms for aggregate traffic,
and edge mechanisms for individual flows, that together can be used to build services with …

In this paper we describe the implementation of a network providing advanced services such
as a premium service that aims at providing low loss, low delay, and low delay jitter and an …

This thesis addresses loss-rate differentiation in the Internet. Loss-rate differentiation can be
offered by tagging packets with different levels of drop precedence. Multiple drop …

In this paper, we propose a new framework for supporting di erentiated services over the
Internet. The proposed approach is di erent from the current IETF proposal for Di serv, while …

Recent times the performance of the personal computers increases likewise the number of
realtime Internet and multimedia applications. In the case of such applications best effort …

Voice over IP and other jitter sensitive applications have raised the demand for Quality of
Service guarantees in the Internet. The traffic must be classified and prioritized according to …

This document presents an end-to-end mechanism to guarantee bandwidth and delay into
the Differentiated Services mechanism to constant rate traffic such as voice and video. The …
