The increasing diversity of Internet appliances calls for an architecture f o r performance differentiation on inforniatiori access. The World Wide Web is the dominant interface f o r inforniation access toduy. Web proxy caching is the key performance accelerator in the web infrastructure. While many research efforts addressed pegorniance differentiation in the network and on web servers, provi...

Remote Monitoring MIB Extensions for Differentiated Services Status of this Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this...

Internet is moving towards the time of Quality of Service (QoS) networking. This move is taking place through the application of Differentiated Services (DiffServ) architecture. DiffServ offers low overhead tools to implement class based differentiation for the traffic. Decision of differentiation is, however, left as an open matter, to be settled between service provider and customer. Majority...

To support Quality-of-Service (QoS) provisioning in highly dynamic mobile environments, we propose a signaling protocol allowing mobile users to contact a Differentiated Services bandwidth broker for QoS negotiation. The protocol can also be used for QoS negotiations between bandwidth brokers.

The paper describes the concept and the implementation of Differentiated Services over ATM. ATM components are being used in order to implement DiffServ traffic conditioning components such as shaping and policing. The implementation architecture based on a Linux router platform and some initial performance measurement results are presented.

UMTS networks will be based on the Internet Protocol (IP) to provide an efficient support for applications with bursty traffic characteristics, e.g., WWW browsers. Such IP-based networks must include Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms to enable the usage of real-time applications, such as mobile telephony. Different network services are necessary to satisfy the different needs of applications ...

The emerging marketplace for online free services in which service providers earn revenue from using consumer data in direct and indirect ways has lead to significant privacy concerns. This begs understanding of the following question: can the marketplace sustain multiple service providers (SPs) that offer privacy-differentiated free services? This paper studies this problem of market segmentat...

Multi-Protocol Label Switching is a relatively new technology based on the association of labels with routes and the use of labels to forward packets. In other words MPLS integrates the label-swapping paradigm with network-layer routing. Differentiated Services define a model for implementing scalable differentiation of QoS in the Internet. Packets are classified and marked, policed and shaped ...

Differentiated Services is the most advanced method for traffic management which provides QoS. QoS is essential for today’s internet. QoS represents set of techniques necessary to manage throughput, packet loss and delay. Traffic Conditioners or Policers are the most important components of differentiated services. In this research, different Traffic Conditioners or Policers are compared on the...

Internet Telephony has been deemed as a promising candidate for the next generation telephone system. However, unstable voice quality is the main problem that prevents the Internet Telephone from competing with the traditional circuit switched telephone. Current Internet supports only a best-effort service class, which does not provide any bandwidth or delay guarantee for the voice packets. Dur...
