Abstract The Differentiated Services framework allows to provide scalable network Quality of
Service by aggregate scheduling. Services, like a Premium class, can be defined to offer a …

The Differentiated Services architecture allows providing scalable Quality of Service by
means of aggregating flows to a small number of traffic classes. Among these classes a …

A large number of products implementing aggregate buffering and scheduling mechanisms
have been developed and deployed, and still more are under development. With the rapid …

The Differentiated Services architecture aims at providing scalable network Quality of
Service by means of aggregate scheduling. However, the defined framework itself only gives …

The deterministic network calculus offers an elegant framework for determining delays and
backlog in a network with deterministic service guarantees to individual traffic flows. A …

We present a new formalism for data packetization in Network Calculus. Packet curves are
introduced to model constraints on the packet lengths of data flows. Indeed, a more precise …

The deterministic network calculus offers an elegant framework for determining delays and
backlog in a network with deterministic service guarantees to individual traffic flows. This …

Recently, a mathematical framework has been developed for the provision of deterministic
quality of service guarantees in integrated services networks. This framework, or so …

Network calculus is a min-plus system theory which facilitates the efficient derivation of
performance bounds for networks of queues. It has successfully been applied to provide end …

Network calculus has proven as a valuable and versatile methodology for worst-case
analysis of communication networks. One issue in which it is still lacking is the treatment of …
