Internetwork Traffic Management Enhancements: Evaluation and Experimental Results

摘要

In recent years, there has been an increasing reliance on internetworking technology for military communication networks. As more diverse and mission critical applications begin to coexist within this shared infrastructure the need for improved network traffic and bandwidth management becomes apparent. Recent developments within the research community and within commercial products provide numerous candidate technologies that may be applied as solutions. This paper explores a set of such techniques while evaluating their relative merits and performance tradeoffs. A subset of empirical results from an actual testbed environment is also provided and discussed.
