QoS Comparison for DiffServ over Heterogeneous MPLS Multicast Networks : A Simulation Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to provide QoS in group communications for real time applications such as video conferencing, reliable multicasting is used. Miscellaneous efforts have been undertaken to provide reliability on top of IP multicast. In this paper, we present a new fair share policy (FSP) that utilizes Differentiated Services to solve the problems of QoS and congestion control when reliable FEC/ARQ multicast is adopted. Simulation programs are used to evaluate the Fair Share Policy. The results should provide insights into the comparisons between homogeneous IP multicast networks, homogeneous MPLS multicast networks and heterogeneous MPLS multicast networks using the same FSP when DiffServ are adopted and when reliable FEC/ARQ multicast is considered. Key-Words: Heterogeneous, IP, MPLS, DiffServ, FEC/ARQ.

متن کاملAccommodations of QoS DiffServ Over IP and MPLS Networks
Multicasting has become increasingly important with the emergence of Internet-based applications such IP telephony, audio/video conferencing, distributed databases and software upgrading. IP Multicasting is an efficient way to distribute information from a single source to multiple destinations at different locations. In practice IP is considered as a layer 3 protocol. Multiprotocol label Switc...
متن کاملAn MPLS-based Quality of Service Architecture for Heterogeneous Networks
(ABSTRACT) This thesis proposes a multi-protocol label switching (MPLS)-based architecture to provide quality of service (QoS) for both internet service provider (ISP) networks and backbone Internet Protocol (IP) networks that are heterogeneous in nature. Heterogeneous networks are present due to the use of different link-layer mechanisms in the current Internet. Copper-based links, fiber-based...
متن کاملSupporting Quality of Service in IP multicast networks
Developers and providers of data, voice and video applications have to satisfy numerous Quality of Service (QoS) requirements and cope with different architectures emerging to provide these QoS in the Internet. IntServ, DiffServ or MPLS are technologies currently used in different administrative domains in the Internet to provide QoS. With multicast applications emerging, such as video conferen...
متن کاملDynamic DSCPs for heterogeneous QoS in DiffServ multicasting
The significant growths of group communications and QoSaware applications over the Internet have accelerated the development of two key technologies, namely, multicasting and Differentiated Services (DiffServ). Although both are complementary technologies, their integration is a non-trivial task due to several architectural conflicts between them. The inherent heterogeneous nature of QoS multic...
