The past few years have witnessed the emergence of many real-time networked
applications on the Internet. These types of applications require special support from the …

The Differentiated services (diffserv) architecture has been proposed as a scalable solution
for providing service differentiation among flows without any per-flow buffer management …

Power-aware processors operate in various power modes to reduce energy consumption
with a corresponding decrease in peak processor throughput. Recent work has shown …

ISPs are facing the challenge of offering improved quality of service (QoS) to their
customers. No longer is best effort delivery with no service guarantee acceptable for many …

Interactive TCP applications, such as Telnet and the Web, are particularly sensitive to
network congestion. Indeed, congestion-induced queueing and packet loss can be a …

Abstract In Differentiated Services (DiffServ) architecture, we define the per-hop QoS as the
throughput, delay, jitter, and loss rate experienced by traffic crossing a Per-Hop Behavior …

Multilevel processor sharing scheduling disciplines have recently been resurrected in
papers that focus on the differentiation between short and long TCP flows in the Internet. We …

The DiffServ architecture has been proposed as a scalable approach for upgrading the
Internet, adding service differentiation functionalities. However, several aspects of this …

IETF proposes the differentiated services (DiffServ) architecture to implement QoS in the
Internet. However, recent studies have shown that under various conditions, the existing …

The implementation of successful assured forwarding (AF) services according to the DiffServ
framework remains a challenging problem today, despite the numerous proposals for AF …
