Stateful vs. stateless admission control: which can be the gap in utilization efficiency?
نویسندگان
چکیده
IETF developed two main approaches to provide QoS aware services in the Internet: Integrated Services (IntServ) and Differentiated Services (DiffServ). Both have well known pros and cons (e.g., [1][2]). The stateful IntServ has a greater level of accuracy and a finer level of granularity. The stateless DiffServ possesses excellent scaling properties, but lacks a standardized admission control scheme and, upon overload in a given service class, degradation of service can occur. To provide QoS in DiffServ, three possible strategies are: i) plain and heavy over-dimensioning; ii) admission control at the borders of the DiffServ region, coupled with suitable assumptions on the distribution of the traffic within the region, which can lead to over-dimensioning, even if less severe than the previous one; iii) per-node (i.e., within the region) admission control. Following RFC2990, we recently proposed an "admission control function which can determine whether to admit a service differentiated flow along the nominated network path [1]", i.e., the third of the above strategies. This function, named GRIP (Gauge & Gate Reservation with Independent Probing), can provide strict QoS guarantees by means of stateless DiffServ-compliant procedures. This feature is paid with a potential loss of efficiency, with respect to an ideal, stateful admission control. The goal of this paper is to evaluate analytically such loss of efficiency, in a specific scenario. In other words, we want to estimate how much resources we can waste if we go stateless and avoid state maintenance functions. The comparison between stateless and stateful approaches is performed under the constraint of strictly offering the same performance levels, in terms of, e.g., loss probability and delay.

Distributed Admission Control to Support Guaranteed Services in Core-Stateless Networks
The core-stateless service architecture alleviates the scalability problems of the integrated service framework while maintaining its guaranteed service semantics. The admission control methods proposed to support core-stateless guaranteed services have significant drawbacks. We propose a scalable and robust distributed admission control architecture to support corestateless guaranteed services...
متن کاملPerforming Admission Control Concurrently in Core-stateless Networks
In this paper we propose a concurrent admission control scheme for the QoS sensitivity traffic in core-stateless networks. In this scheme, the ingress router of core-stateless network domain is capable of performing admissibility test in concurrent for requests by per-assigning core-link resource to each edge routers. Then, we introduce a novel two phase token passing mechanism to adaptively op...
متن کاملAn Edge-based Admission Control for Differentiated Services Network
This paper presents an edge-based admission control scheme for Differentiated Services (DiffServ) networks. In our scheme, admission control decisions are performed at the edge routers according to the core router’s available resource information obtained by sending probing packets along the selected routing path. The scheme consists of four elements: (1) local measurement, (2) available bandwi...

This paper introduces and studies a new queue management framework via the use of connection level information already embedded in existing data traffic. Our goal is to improve the system performance and resource utilization at times of intense network congestion. Under this framework, data packets and connection establishment packets are queued separately. Different queueing and dropping polic...
