Abstract

Traffic conditioners play a key role in implementing the Assured Service in the framework of the DiffServ approach. In this paper, we propose a traffic conditioner for the Internet Assured Service called Counters-Based Modified (CBM) that strictly guarantees target rates and performs a fair share of the excess bandwidth among TCP sources. The fairness in the outbound bandwidth distribution is met by probabilistically dropping OUT packets in the traffic conditioner. To determine the dropping probability of an OUT packet, some sort of signaling is needed. Although, it results more feasible than other proposed intelligent traffic conditioners. The CBM traffic conditioner is evaluated under different conditions by simulation using TCP Reno sources.
