The Performance of Endpoint Admission Control Based on Packet Loss

摘要

Endpoint admission control solutions, based on probing a transmission path, have been proposed to meet quality requirements of audio-visual applications with little support from routers. In this paper we present a mathematical analysis of a probe-based admission control solution, where flows are accepted or rejected based on the packet-loss statistics in the probe stream. The analysis relates system performance to design parameters and the experienced probe packet loss probability to the packet loss pro bability of accepted flows.
