Several congestion pricing proposals have been made in the last decade. Usually, however, those proposals studied optimal strategies and did not focus on implementation issues. Our main contribution in this paper is to address implementation issues for congestion-sensitive pricing over a single domain of the differentiated-services (diff-serv) architecture of the Internet. We propose a new cong...

This paper analyzes the importance of differentiated services implementation in current web servers, within the context of new Internet applications. An innovative approach of resource management is presented, which is carried out through Proportional Cumulative Value Attribution (PCV) heuristic. This heuristic acts through two policies, which in response to the requests, simultaneously, sort t...

One of the key problems to be solved in Mesurement-Based Admission Control is to efficiently utilise the information provided by the sources and measured by the network. There is a direct relationship between the amount of information available and the resulting effectiveness of the admission algorithm. In this paper we analyse the tradeoff between complexity and effectiveness using a practial ...

The IETF has developed several specifications for policy-based configuration management. In addition, an infrastructure for distributed management by delegation has been specified. This paper combines key concepts developed in these two efforts and proposes a policy-based configuration management architecture built upon the distributed management infrastructure. Two prototype implementations fo...
