چکیده
An integrated service internet running real-time and multimedia applications is rapidly becoming a reality. Meanwhile, ATM technology is appearing in the marketplace. It is an important problem to integrate ATM networks into this integrated service internet. One of the approaches, classical IP over ATM, is now widely deployed, effectively solving the problem of internetworking and interoperability. A key remaining issue is to provide quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees for internet traffic running through ATM subnets. This paper describes a priority scheme, named User Priority, for providing an IP integrated service with QoS over ATM switched virtual circuits (SVCs) to obtain better performance of packet delivery. The User Priority is defined as a three-bit field which uses a type of service (TOS) field in the IP datagram header. This yields eight different service classes with a value of 7 for the highest priority and 0 for the lowest priority. Class 6 and 7 services are for real-time traffic and have their own VCs. Packets with Classes 0 through 5 are sent an aggregate VC. This method is different from the IP over ATM scheme where only one VC is set up between two communicating IP hosts. Thus, packets can be treated differently according to their priorities such that they can enjoy the various QoS guarantees provided by ATM networks. It is backward-compatible with existing IP implementations. These newer options need only to be implemented on the end systems that want to take advantage of them. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Many researchers are devising algorithms for task placement in distributed systems, but few are designing the necessary mechanisms to provide the information required by those algorithms. Fundamental to these mechanisms is an accurate means for information exchange between distributed systems. The messiahs project investigated the construction of a set of mechanisms to support task placement in...
متن کاملA new distributed routing algorithm for supporting delay-sensitive applications
We propose a new distributed delay-constrained unicast routing algorithm which can always nd a delay-constrained path with small message complexity if such a path exists. At each network node, limited information about the network state is needed and only a small amount of computation is required. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has much better cost performance than the leas...

Explicit routing in MPLS is utilized in traffic engineering to maximize the operational network performance and to provide Quality of Service (QoS). However, difficulties arise while integrating native IP multicasting with MPLS traffic engineering, such as point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint LSPs layout design and traffic aggregation. In this paper, we have proposed an edge router m...
