Scalable architecture for providing per-flow bandwidth guarantees

چکیده
Despite numerous efforts, the problem of providing per-flow Quality of Service in a scalable manner still remains an active area of research. This paper introduces a scalable architecture for support of per-flow bandwidth guarantees, called the Bandwidth Distribution Scheme (BDS). The BDS maintains aggregate flow information in the network core and distributes this information among boundary nodes as needed. Based on the feedback from the network core the boundary nodes dynamically adjust resource allocations of individual flows. The BDS architecture consists of three main components: the admission control, the resource distribution mechanism, and the protocol for distributing the aggregate flow requirements in the network. This paper describes components of the BDS architecture and illustrates how they operate together to achieve scalable per-flow QoS.

A scalable architecture for providing deterministic guarantees
The Internet community has proposed the Integrated Services architecture (Intserv) and the signaling protocol RSVP to provide deterministic guarantees (bandwidth, delay and jitter) to individual flows. However, experience with practical systems has revealed the severe scalability problems of the Intserv model due to the amount of routing and reservation state that is required to be maintained i...
متن کاملAssuring Fair Allocation of Excess Bandwidth in Reservation Based Core-Stateless Networks
Assuring guaranteed services and providing fair bandwidth sharing are much sought characteristics in the current network architecture research. The IntServ approaches achieve those characteristics but only at the expense of using per-flow states and signaling, which are not scalable and difficult to implement. Alternatively, the stateless approaches proposed up to now are focused either on prov...

This paper proposes a DiffServ-over-MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) architecture and describes the implementation of its functional blocks on Intel IXP2400 Network Processor using Intel IXA SDK 4.1 framework. We propose fast and scalable 6-tuple range-match classifier, which allows traffic policing procedures to operate on per-flow level, and a scalable low-jitter Deficit Round Robin (DRR) schedu...
متن کاملA network architecture for providing per-flow delay guarantees with scalable core
Many real-time applications demand delay guarantees from the network. A network architecture designed to support these applications should be robust and scalable. The IntServ architecture provides per-flow QoS at the cost of robustness and scalability. The DiffServ architecture is robust and scalable but can provide QoS at a class level and not at a flow level. In this paper, our aim is to desi...
متن کاملArchitecture for dynamic and fair distribution of bandwidth
The problem of fair distribution of available bandwidth among traffic flows or aggregates remains an essential issue in computer networks. This paper introduces a novel approach, called the Exact Bandwidth Distribution Scheme (X-BDS), for dynamic and fair distribution of available bandwidth among individual flows. In this approach, the edge routers keep per-flow information, while the core rout...
