Diierentiated Services over Cable Networks

چکیده
The current Medium Access Control interface speci cations of the Multimedia Cable Network System (MCNS) project describe a best e ort access service over cable networks. In this paper, we show that even though these speci cations are mainly intended to support IP tra c, there is a signi cant bene t in the strati cation of the cable service o erings. We present a priority system to extend the MCNS MAC protocol so that di erentiated services can be supported on Hybrid Fiber Coaxial networks with di erent levels of performance.

متن کاملA Tcp-friendly Traac Marker for Ip Diierentiated Services
The diierentiated services architecture allows the provision of \better-than-best-eeort" services in the Internet. However, the performance of legacy TCP applications over diierentiated services is still innuenced by bursty packet loss behavior. This paper proposes the use of TCP-friendly building blocks in the dii-serv architecture, and in particular, a TCP-friendly traac marker to enhance TCP...
متن کاملParis Metro Pricing: the Minimalist Diierentiated Services Solution
|Diierentiated services for the Internet are undergoing intensive development. It is widely accepted that they will require usage sensitive pricing. The Paris Metro Pricing (PMP) proposal is to rely on pricing alone to provide diierentiated services. PMP is the simplest diierentiated services system in terms of complexity.
متن کاملDiierentiated Services Networks: Pricing and Software Agents
We consider packet-based networks that use the Diierentiated Services (DiiServ) proposal of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to provide quality of service. For our study, we model DiiServ as a priority service. Users are free to choose the priority that they attach to their packets, however are charged accordingly. For this service, one would expect that users will choose an allocatio...
