Abstract
The Differentiated Service (Diff-Serv) architecture [1] advocates a model based on different “granularity” at network edges and within the network. In particular, core routers are only required to act on a few aggregates that are meant to offer a pre-defined set of service levels. The use of aggregation raises a number of questions for end-to-end services, in particular when crossing domain boundaries where policing actions may be applied. This paper focuses on the impact of such policing actions in the context of individual and the bulk services built on top of the Expedited Forwarding (EF) [7] per-hop-behavior (PHB). The findings of this investigation confirm and quantify the expected need for reshaping at network boundaries, and identify a number of somewhat unexpected behaviors. Recommendations are also made for when reshaping is not available.

Quantitative adaptive RED in differentiated service networks
AbstractThis paper derives a quantitative model between RED (Random Early Detection) maxp and committed traffic rate for token-based marking schemes in DiffServ IP networks. Then, a DiffServ Quantitative RED (DQRED) is presented, which can adapt its ...
Bandwidth Management for Supporting Differentiated Service Aware Traffic Engineering
This paper presents a bandwidth management framework for the support of the differentiated service aware traffic engineering (DS-TE) in the multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networks. Our bandwidth management framework contains both bandwidth ...
