Abstract

Internet is widely known for lacking any kind of mechanism for the provisioning of Quality of Service guarantees. The Internet community concentrates its efforts on the Bandwidth Broker architecture towards this problem. This paper presents a design model of a multi-layer Bandwidth Broker architecture that introduces a Resource Control Layer, which is divided into two sub-layers. The upper one is responsible for the overall network administration, while the lower one performs per-flow policy-based admission control. The design models, the mechanisms, and algorithms adopted in this architecture will be delineated.
