....ABE service. This implementation assumes that the router has only output port queuing. It is based on a new scheduling concept, DSD. We have also undertaken other implementations based on different scheduling concepts, which include a differential dropper based implementation in the ns2 simulator [14] (first outlined in [15] and in the Linux kernel [16] and a dummy packet based implementation in the Dummynet emulator [16] We describe DSD, discuss its compliance with the ABE router requirements as seen earlier, and show some experiment results from simulations. Before delving into the ....

....This alternative would consist in having the destination drop all packets that arrive too late, say, after a transit deadline. However, it wastes network resources, since packets are dropped after being carried by the network, and the overall performance of such a scheme can become very poor [14]. Conclusions We have described ABE, a new service which enables best effort traffic to experience low delay, possibly at the expense of more throughput. ABE is targeted at providing low delay with no concept of reservation or signaling, and while retaining the spirit of a flat rate network. The ....
