Class provisioning using proportional delay di erentiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of link provisioning in a di erentiated services network that o ers N classes of service. At the provisioning phase, the network manager con gures the link to support the requirements of M distinct tra c types. Each tra c type is speci ed by an expected arrival rate and an average delay requirement. The objective of the provisioning phase is to jointly determine: the minimum link capacity needed to support the M given tra c types, the nominal class of service for each tra c type, and the appropriate resource allocation between classes. We propose such a class provisioning methodology. Our methodology is based on Proportional Delay Di erentiation (PDD) scheduling. The major advantage of PDD scheduling is that it avoids the computation of an explicit bandwidth share for each class. Instead, PDD scheduling determines the order of packet transmissions in order to meet the N 1 ratios of the N target class delays. Having xed the delay ratios with PDD, we then set the N class delays to their target values adjusting a single knob, which is the link capacity. The methodology is illustrated with examples.

Dynamic Priority Scheduling for Proportional Delay Differentiated Services
Recent results on the proportional di erentiation model show that waiting time priority scheduling can be applied to implement proportional delay di erentiatied services reasonably well under limited conditions. While earlier research focused on heavy load conditions only, more recent results provide insights into waiting time priority scheduling under moderate load conditions also, but the app...
متن کاملDynamic class selection and class provisioning in proportional differentiated services
The relative diierentiation architecture does not require per-ow state at the network core or edges, nor admission control, but it can only provide higher classes with better service than lower classes. A central premise in the relative diierentiation architecture is that users with an absolute QoS requirement can dynamically search for a class which provides the desired QoS level. In the rst p...
متن کاملA Flexible Quality of Service Model for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
Quality of service (QoS) support in Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) is a challenging task. Most of the proposals in the literature only address certain aspects of the QoS support, e.g., QoS routing, QoS medium access control (MAC) and resource reservation. However, none of them proposes a QoS model for MANETs. Meanwhile, two QoS models have been proposed for the Internet, viz., the Integrated S...

Interval arithmetic and computational(automatic) di erentiation are powerful methods for use in optimization. Interval arithmetic operates on values which are intervals rather than points. This arithmetic can be used to examine large areas of a space, often eliminating portions of the space that can be shown not to contain the global optimum. Interval derivative information can be very useful i...

The provisioning of end-to-end services in the presence of trac aggregation is evaluated in the framework of the Dierentiated Services (diserv) QoS architecture. The eect of stream multiplexing on delay and jitter-sensitive trac is analyzed through an experimental approach. Aggregation is evaluated in three dierent scenarios: with dierent aggregate trac loads, with a variable number of ...
