Advanced Mechanisms for Available Rate Usage in ATM and Differentiated Services Networks

The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service category was defined for ATM networks in order to provide a minimal guaranteed rate while letting a user exploit additional unused capacity from other service categories. In this paper experiences with an implementation of a driver enabling ABR support and the steps needed to integrate it in an end system are described. Furthermore, the deployment of ABR in ...

Enabling IP-Multicast in Differentiated Services Networks

The Differentiated Services approach is currently intensively discussed in the Internet community. It will also bring benefits for multicast applications that need quality of service support. For instance, a highly reliable multicast can be provided based on Expedited Forwarding. However, current efforts mainly concentrate on unicast services, whereas multicast services have not been addressed ...

Evaluation of Differentiated Services using an Implementation under Linux

Current efforts to provide distinct levels of quality-of-service in the Internet are concentrated on the Differentiated Services (DS) approach. In order to investigate the gain for users of those differentiated services, early experiences with implementations with respect to real applications are needed. Simulation models are often not sufficient if a judgement of the behavior under realistic t...

Group Communication in Differentiated Services Networks

The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) approach will also bring benefits for multicast applications which need quality of service support. For instance, a highly reliable multicast service can be provided based on the proposed Expedited Forwarding behavior [8]. Such a service may also be used advantageously in a global computing cluster infrastructure, e.g., for distribution of synchronization ...
