Abstract
Over the past decade, two classes of solutions have been proposed to provide better network services than the existing best effort service in the Internet: those maintaining the stateless property of the original Internet (e.g., Differentiated Services), and those requiring a new stateful architecture (e.g., Integrated Services). While stateful solutions can provide more powerful and flexible services such as per flow guaranteed services, and can achieve higher resource utilization, they are less scalable than stateless solutions.
