Addie, Ron and Yevdokimov, Oleksiy and Braithwaite, Stephen and Millsom, David (2007) Protecting small flows from large ones for quality of service. In: Second International Conference on Digital Telecommunications (ICDT 2007), 1-5 Jul 2007, San Jose, CA, USA. MetadataFull text available as: Official URL: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/4270559/4270560/04270569.pdf?tp=&isnumber=4270560&arnumber=4270569&punumber=4270559 Identification Number or DOI: doi:10.1109/ICDT.2007.68 AbstractA simple strategy for improving Quality of Service is to protect small flows from large ones, by finding a small number of large flows, separating them from the remaining traffic, and giving the small flow traffic priority over these large flows. This is a very powerful technique because it is known that a small proportion of all flows (e.g. 0.1%) contain a large proportion of all bytes (e.g. 20%). Many questions arise when this method of managing performance is considered. These questions are investigated by means of a mathematical model of traffic and of queueing in routers. One particular question is particularly emphasized in this paper: how should the size of flows be measured? | Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (DEST Category E) (Paper) |
