Abstract
Real-time communication over IP networks is becoming increasingly widespread with the advent of real-time applications such as videoconferencing. Integrated Services Guaranteed Service and Differentiated Services Expedited Forwarding are two different architectures that cater for these real-time communications. This paper extends the existing models of the spacer and policer, and describes the relationship between the architectures and these traffic conditioners. From this relationship, this paper will show that Expedited Forwarding represents a more elegant and scalable solution for real-time communications than Guaranteed Service.
