The admission control mechanism inspired in the framework of proportional differentiated services has been investigated. The mechanism provides a predictable and controllable network service for real-time traffic in terms of blocking probability. Implementation of proportional differentiated admission control is a complicated computational problem. Previously, asymptotic assumptions have been u...

We propose a new Per Hop Behavior (PHB) for differentiated services in IP networks. In this PHB, each network subscriber (or flow) receives a bandwidth allocation proportional to the subscribed information rate. This new PHB is called "Proportional Forwarding PHB" or PF PHB. The marking mechanism at the source or ingress router and the queuing and discard behavior at core routers are clearly de...

Quality of Service(QoS) in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) though a challenge, becomes a necessity because of its applications in critical scenarios. Providing QoS for users belonging to various profiles and playing different roles, becomes the need of the hour. In this paper, we propose proportional share scheduling and MAC protocol (PS2-MAC) model. It classifies users based on their profile a...

Due to the increasing number of users of the Internet, the need for Quality of Service for the internet has increased. This has lead to the development of Integrated (or IntServ) and Differentiated (or DiffServ) Services as possible replacements to the Best Effort Service that is currently used in the Internet. The lack of scalability in the IntServ model has given rise to the popularity of the...

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has been developed as an efficient switching technique to exploit the capacity provided by Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) transmission technology for the next generation optical Internet. Segmentation is proposed in literatures to resolve contention, a major concern in optical burst switched networks. As far as segmentation is concerned, nearly all t...
