Abstract
The basic objectives of future Internet are to increase the network capacity, to offer a practical real-time service, and to develop a feasible charging scheme. These objectives introduce very strict requirements for the traffic control system. This paper presents a new simple approach for traffic management: Simple Integrated Media Access (SIMA). The strength of SIMA lies in its wide area of applications. There is no need to build complex systems with several service classes each appropriate to only certain applications.
