RMD-QOSM - The Resource Management in Diffserv QoS model

This document describes an NSIS QoS Model for networks that use the Resource Management in Diffserv (RMD) concept. RMD is a technique for adding admission control and preemption function to Differentiated Services (Diffserv) networks. The RMD QoS Model allows devices external to the RMD network to signal reservation requests to edge nodes in the RMD network. The RMD Ingress edge nodes classify the incoming flows into traffic classes and signals resource requests for the corresponding traffic class along the data path to the Egress edge nodes for each flow. Egress nodes reconstitute the original requests and continue forwarding them along the data path towards the final destination. In addition, RMD defines notification functions to indicate overload situations within the domain to the edge nodes

Study of the CAC mechanisms for telecommunications systems with adaptive links according to propagation conditions

This paper presents the framework and the activities of a PhD research work in progress supported by Alcatel Alenia Space in collaboration with TeSA and SUPAERO. It deals with Connection Admission Control (CAC) for Telecommunications Systems with adaptive links according to propagation conditions. Indeed, in high frequency bands communications, deep fadings may occur because of atmospheric propagation losses. The mitigation techniques used to counteract fades impacts the system capacity, therefore the CAC mechanism. The CAC which only uses current capacity information may lead to intolerable dropping of admitted connection, and thus breaches the QoS guarantees made upon connection acceptance. New CAC mechanisms shall be studied to take into account the capacity variation and the mitigation techniques (IFMT) developed to compensate the attenuation in Ka and above frequency range

Design and Evaluation of a Session-Aware Admission Control Framework for Improving Service Providers' Profitability

International audienceService-aware network management is a key issue for the current and next generation service-oriented networks. In this work, we focus on improving the QoS user experience (QoE) of Internet subscribers connecting to heavily loaded servers. Firstly, we advocate an innovative architecture for fine-grained admission-control of Internet servers subjected to multiple flow-based sessions. The proposed architecture is based on original concepts which meet the constraints of multiple-flow based sessions by explicitly identifying the flows pertaining to a single subscriber's session. Secondly, based on an economically-justified service model, we investigate novel session-aware admission-control for improving providers' profitability. Our fundamental observation is that it is sometimes desirable to reject some customers' new sessions so that others may be completed and thereby generate some revenue for the service provider. We evaluate the performance of the advocated model by conducting advanced simulations where we consider realistic CBR voice traffic. Results demonstrate that responsive session-aware admission-control improves service provider's benefits. For a satisfactory operator's revenue, session-aware admission-control improves the success rate by more than 69 %, compared to standard request-aware admission-control

On the Trade-off Between Spectrum Efficiency with Dedicated Access and Short End-to-End Transmission Delays with Random Access in DVB-RCS2

This paper analyses the performance of TCP over random and dedicated access methods in the context of DVB-RCS2. Random access methods introduce a lower connection delay compared to dedicated methods. We investigate the potential to improve the performance of short flows in regards to transmission delay, over random access methods for DVB-RCS2 that is currently under development. Our simulation experiments show that the transmission of the first ten IP datagrams of each TCP flow can be 500 ms faster with random access than with dedicated access making the former of interest to carry Internet traffic. Such methods, however, are less efficient in regards to bandwidth usage than dedicated access mecanisms and less reliable in overloaded network conditions. Two aspects of channel usage optimization can be distinguished: reducing the duration of ressource utilization with random access methods, or increasing the spectrum efficiency with dedicated access methods. This article argues that service providers may let low-cost users exploit the DVB-RCS2 to browse the web by introducing different services, which choice is based on the channel access method
