This paper proposes a new mechanism called the Priority Token Bank for admission control, scheduling, and policing in integrated-services networks. In such networks, both arrival processes and performance objectives can vary greatly from one packet stream to another. There are two principal components to the Priority Token Bank: accepting or rejecting requests to admit entire packet streams, wh...

We study the buuer requirements for N identical token bucket streams that are fed to a multiplexor. If the token bucket streams are synchronized the buuer size requirement at the multiplexor is N B, where B is the size of the token bucket. We introduce a new variant of token bucket schemes that we call randomized token bucket schemes that insert random delays to prevent the streams from becomin...

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers 802.5 (1) standard has become a widely accepted protocol for token ring local area networks (LANs). A major part of its success is the advantages it offers over other network architectures. These advantages include its reliability and simplicity of hardware interfacing the transmission medium to the stations’ electronics. Because each station...

MEC technology provides a distributed computing environment in 5G mobile networks for application and service hosting. It allows customers with different requirements professional competencies to use the services offered by external suppliers. We consider access control framework on that is efficient, flexible, user-friendly. Its central element Enabler, which handles AAA requests stakeholders ...
