A packet class-based scheme for providing throughput guarantees to TCP flows

Internet applications such as web or ftp will be satisfactorily supported by a guaranteed minimum throughput service. We propose to build this service in a core-stateless network such as Differentiated Services with an Admission Control (AC) method based on end-to-end measurements, using the first packets of the flow. The whole scheme uses a small set of packet classes (with different discarding priorities), and is therefore simple and scalable. We evaluate the scheme through simulations in several scenarios using TCP flows. Finally, we propose an extension of the method aimed at improving its performance.
