  • TITLE: Providing Throughput Differentiation for TCP Flows Using Adaptive Two-Color Marking and Two-Level AQM
  • AUTHOR: Y. Chait, C.V. Hollot, V. Misra, D. Towsley, H. Zhang and C.S. Lui
  • ABSTRACT: In this paper we propose a new paradigm for a Differential Service (DiffServ) network consisting of two-color marking at the edges of the network using token buckets coupled with differential treatment in the core. Using fluid-flow modelling, we present existence conditions for token-bucket rates and differential marking probabilities at the core that result in all edges receiving at least their minimum guaranteed rates. We then present an integrated DiffServ architecture comprising of an active rate management controller at the marking edge and a two-level active queue management controller at the core. The validity of the fluid
    flow model and performance of this new scheme are verified using \texttt{ns} simulations.
