....However, both these schemes approach but do not achieve the same level of fairness as obtained by DRR. In this paper, we present Aggregated Flow Fair Queueing, a simpler approach which, in addition, maintains the same relative fairness bound as DRR and with a work complexity of O(1) AFFQ, as in [6], requires the schedulers in the entire network to maintain only a per link state as opposed to a per flow state. In our scheme, the schedulers closest to the traffic sources employ a modified version of the DRR scheduling discipline. The DRR schedulers and the traffic sources label selected ....

....that the Quality of Service (QoS) on the Internet is a wide contemporary research topic. Many network researchers think that loss should be explicitly avoided or controlled by re engineering the network to provide QoS guaranteed, through techniques like admission control and reservation [1] [2]. Nevertheless, our objective is to use the original Internet, since it is cheaper and more accessible. Forward Error Correction (FEC) relies on the addition of repair data to a stream, from which the content of lost packets may be recovered at destination, at least in part. Two classes of ....

....handling by a router alert option [113] The receiver reports back whether the reservation was completely or only partially successful. Similar proposals of simplified, sender based resource reservation protocols can be found (albeit not using RTCP) in the Scalable Reservation Protocol (SRP) [114]. The issue of reservations for IPtel services has another facet: if a reservation fails, the call can still take place, but using best effort transport of the audio. This is certainly preferable to a fast busy signal, where no communications at all are established. This introduces the ....

Different proposals were made such as Assured service [5] Premium service [6] Differential Link Sharing [7] Scalable Reservation Protocol [8], Simple Integrated Media Access [9] Weighted Proportional Fair Sharing [10] and Olympic service [11] Of these, currently only two services are discussed, an extended version of the Assured service [12] with four different classes and a modified version of the Premium service [13] In contrast ....

.... The Scalable Resource Reservation Protocol (SRP) developed at the Institute for Computer Communications and Applications (ICA) of ETH Lausanne represents yet another proposal in addition to Assured and Premium Service for a possible implementation of differentiated services in the Internet (Almesberger et al. 1997). As indicated by its name much effort has been spent on making the protocol well scalable even for large numbers of packet flows. End systems (i.e. sender and receiver) 14 Differentiated Services play an active part in resource reservation while additional control of the sender s behavior is ....

....flows. Fixed capability reservations can waste bandwidth and do not permit graceful degradation in application performance when resource management policies mandate changes in allocations. Adaptive techniques inevitably fail when congestion reduces available resources below acceptable limits [8], 9] In this paper, we describe an approach to QoS that combines features of both reservations and adaptation to address the difficulties just noted. At the core of this approach is a QoS architecture in which resources are enhanced with: online control interfaces that allow applications, or ....

....We claimed that it had two key features that could simplify reservation processing on routers, namely one pass reservation and partial reservations. We reiterate these features here only as an example to motivate design alternatives. There are other lightweight reservation protocols such as SDP [18]. The one pass reservation model in the YESSIR proposal works as the following: Sender S initiates a reservation by sending a flowspec to all receivers D. The message that carries the flowspec propagates through the network toward the receivers. Each router along the way attempts to perform a ....

....used by an application after the application initialises the QoS Agent and identifies itself. The QoS Agent is responsible for initialising the other components of the architecture. Figure 16 illustrates the interaction between the components of the Quartz prototype when QoS is requested (action [1]) and when adaptation takes place (action [2] First, the application calls method QoSRequest( on the QoS Agent, passing its QoS requirements in the form of a QzQoS structure with application level QoS parameters. Then, the QoS Agent calls the application filter and the interpreter, which ....

.... At operating system level, it would be interesting to add support for real time operating systems such as Chorus [142] 145 VxWorks [151] or QNX [62] Support for new reservation protocols at network level, such as the Scalable Reservation Protocol (SRP) that is being developed by the IETF [1], could also be added in order to expand the platform coverage. This would be done by implementing new components of the architecture that interface with these reservation protocols. Being a component based and extensible architecture, Quartz can also be modified in order to implement new ....

.... capability to provide performance comparable to that achievable by heavyweight per flow resource management approaches, such as Integrated Services RSVP [3] 4] Several proposals have appeared in the literature, either targeted to simplify and make more scalable the Integrated Services approach [5], 6] or to enable some advanced form of QoS control in a stateless DiffServ architecture. For example, 7] envisions a stateless Internet where packets carry control information from the edge to the core, and routers can take advantage of this information. The opposite approach is taken in [8] ....

....4. Reserve the appropriate amount of resources on backbone links to satisfy the QoS requirements of individual flows routed over them. The first two items are protocol specific, and can be handled either by using a separate signalling protocol for setting up aggregate reservation, e.g. see [2, 5], or by reusing the RSVP protocol itself, e.g. 32] In either cases, individual RSVP reservations are not processed (hidden) inside the backbone, where separate (aggregate) messages are used to reserve resources based on the requirements of the individual flows being aggregated on each link. As ....

....at the level of some aggregates as is suggested in the various models mapping Integrated Services flows onto Differentiated Services pipes, e.g. 45, 44] This would also contribute to reducing the number of QoS requests. Finally, signaling protocols themselves can be made more efficient (see [36, 40, 41, 42, 43] for examples) and even existing protocols, while certainly contributing added complexity, may not be so expensive as to make QoS routing unaffordable. For example, the measurements of [36] indicate a 1 msec setup time for RSVP, when running on a low performance processor, i.e. a 33MHz 68040 ....

....(in particular bandwidth) This concept enables a service provider to offer different classes of QoS at different costs to the customers. Currently there are several proposals for the realization of DiffServ such as Premium and Assured Services [5] Scalable Resource Reservation Protocol [6] (SRP) and User Share Differentiation (USD) 7] These approaches allow customers to set a fixed rate or a relative share of packets which have to be transmitted by the ISP with high priority. The service negotiation between user and ISP is usually a static process. The user and the ISP negotiate ....

....needed to implement RSVP are complex and hardly scalable. In fact, all network routers in the path of a new connection are involved in the reservation and admission control procedures and must have knowledge of individual incoming flows. A solution to the latter problem has been proposed in [5], where aggregate traffic is considered and the call acceptance procedures are based on run time estimates at each router of the available bandwidth. Though the proposed approach is more scalable, it still requires substantial changes in the routers. An alternative and simpler solution based on ....

....more bandwidth than actually available and assign it to other connections. This again may drive the network into overload when accepted connections use the whole assigned bandwidth. Such shaping procedures are common to resource reservation techniques based on traffic measurements (see for example [5]) and constitute the price to be paid for the reduced complexity of the call admission procedure. During set up, probing traffic must not contend the use of network resources against established traffic; otherwise, if the new requested bandwidth is not available, a network overload may occur and ....

The majority of these protocols initiate the set up of flow specific reservation state in intermediate routers, a notable exception being the approach described in (Almesberger, 1997) whereby no per flow reservation state is set up in routers which instead record their reservation commitments as a whole per output port.
