A delay-based analytical provisioning model for a QoS-enabled service

摘要

Carefully designed and managed services are essential for quality-demanding traffic, especially in large-scale IP networks where the aggregation of flows and the variety of traffic types are extensive. Although individual mechanisms have been widely investigated, not much related work exists on integrated approaches to QoS provisioning that are also feasible to implement. This work presents a thorough approach to the design, dimensioning and provisioning of a high priority service for high-quality demanding traffic over an IP network. Our approach employs efficient scheduling and a dynamic admission control scheme while demonstrating novel characteristics in terms of the quality offered to IP flows.
