- ABSTRACT: In this paper we introduce an innovation in differentiated
services architecture consisting of adaptive two-level coloring at the
edge and preferential marking at the core. We identify general properties
of these two processes which, when met, guarantee a desirable fixed
point for the network; i.e., one where aggregated flow rates meet or
exceed given targets in an over-provisioned network. Specific mechanisms
realizing the aforementioned properties lead to so-called active rate
management controllers for edge coloring, and a preferentially-marking,
active queue management controller at the core. We discuss stability
of the fixed point for this network, and validate results using \texttt{ns}
simulations.
