Measurement-based admission control for elastic traffic

摘要

We propose and evaluate an implicit measurement-based scheme for elastic flow admission control in the Internet. We first discuss the nature of IP traffic and present a simple fluid flow model of statistical bandwidth sharing on an isolated bottleneck link. This model is used to guide our choice of admission control algorithms. The main contribution of the paper is to demonstrate by means of detailed packet level simulations that the proposed scheme is efficient and perfectly feasible.
