Abstract

The Differentiated Services model is the emerging standard to provide Quality-of-Service (QoS) support for the multimedia applications in the future Internet. This model involves bandwidth brokeragents to perform the admission control and network configuration functionalities. A great deal of efforts has been recently devoted to investigate viable approaches to the implementation of mechanisms that automatically perform the bandwidth broker functions. Yet, no standard policy has been so far proposed.In this paper, we propose a distributed measurement-based protocol that performs admission control functionalities for multicast traffic in diff-serv networks. The protocol supports dynamic changes of the multicast group membership, it operates on-demand and it supports the Premium Service. We prove that the proposed protocol performs an effective and efficient admission control function.
