A study on traffic shaping, policing and conformance deterioration for QoS contracted networks

چکیده
Based on the framework of shaping the traffic at the source node and policing or reshaping the traffic at further node(s), the objective of this paper is to better understand conformance consistency in QoS contracted networks. It has been pointed out in [1] that an originally conformant packet may become non-conformant at the egress in the presence of variable packet length, even though the packet is transmitted at a constant bitrate. We refer to this phenomenon by using a terminology conformance deterioration in this paper, and further analyze the probability of conformance deterioration relating to link speed and token rate. We demonstrate that the conformance deterioration could reach up to in the worst case. In order to eliminate conformance deterioration, two measures, enlarging bucket size or reshaping at the policing node, are investigated by simulation. Conformance deterioration for aggregated traffic flows is also studied and compared with the results from an individual traffic flow. Both analytical and simulation results are presented in this paper.

In order to provide negotiated QoS to the end users in next generation mobile networks, a traffic conditioner may be deployed to provide conformance of a service agreement. The traffic conditioning is performed by traffic shaping or/and policing. A framework of applying traffic conditioning in radio access network is proposed in this paper. The main idea of our traffic conditioning approach is ...

متن کاملA Framework for Cost-based Connection Admission Control: Issues in Traffic Shaping and Policing
We propose a minimum cost method for traffic shaping and policing in the context of quality-of-service (QoS) based networks. Given the user's desired QoS and the network's resource availability, our procedure determines the least-cost parameters for a traffic shaper or policer which still guarantees access to the network whilst satisfying the QoS constraints. We illustrate our scheme using on-o...
متن کاملExploring the Performance Impact of QoS Support in TCP/IP Protocol Stacks
This paper explores the performance impact of supporting QoS guarantees on communication in TCP/IP protocol stacks at Unixlike end hosts. We first demonstrate the efficacy of our RSVPbased QoS architecture in providing the desired QoS to individual connections via application-level experiments using UDP sessions and TCP connections on an ATM network. We then identify and measure, via detailed p...
متن کاملLocal and Global QoS-aware Token Bucket Parameters Determination for Traffic Conditioning in 3rd Generation Wireless Networks
Based on the framework of employing traffic shaping at the UE and policing at the RNC, we propose a local and global QoS-aware token bucket parameter determination technique for traffic conditioning in 3G wireless networks in this paper. The local QoS-awareness is achieved by the tradeoff between the shaping delay and the out-ofprofile probability at the token bucket traffic shaper, and the glo...
