Abstract

In this paper we present enhancements to a load control algorithm, which was proposed to perform resource reservations in a differentiated services domain. The basic load control algorithm performs distributed admission control decision, uses only aggregated network states (one per perhop-behavior-PHB) and soft state approach with periodic refreshes to account for resource usage. It is enhanced by several means to adapt it to recent networking requirements. Our proposals include solution to multi-rate reservation, enhancements in network utilization adapting the protocol to transient periods, and handling of possible quality of service violations. We also demonstrate through prototype implementation and extensive performance analysis to what extent the former objectives are fulfilled by our proposals. We claim that most of the enclosed proposals in this article could be reused in other lightweight resource reservation protocols.
