Traffic Management Algorithms in Differentiated Services Networks

Abstract
The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Architecture, a Quality of Service (QoS) solution being worked on by an IETF work group, is aimed to solve the increasing problems with no service guarantees in the current Internet. New services such as video-on-demand and IP-telephony will be unusable without some sort of service guarantees on which to build applications on. A replacement architecture for the Integrated Services (IntServ) Architecture is needed because
of its problems with overhead and scalability. This master thesis studies and evaluates traffic algorithms, specifically scheduling and active queue management algorithms, within the Differentiated Services area using the Network Simulator. The studies investigate Differentiated... (More)

This master thesis studies and evaluates traffic algorithms, specifically scheduling and active queue management algorithms, within the Differentiated Services area using the Network Simulator. The studies investigate Differentiated Services network stability and performance through noise influenced simulations. Results show that against unresponsive users network stability and performance mainly depends on the used scheduling algorithm. (Less)
