OverQos: an overlay based architecture for enhancing internet Qos
Lakshminarayanan Subramanian, Ion Gabriel Stoica, Hari Balakrishnan, Randy Howard Katz · 2004
This paper describes the design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of OverQoS, an overlay-based architecture for enhancing the best-effort service of today's Internet. Using a Controlled loss virtual link (CLVL) abstraction to bound the loss rate observed by a traffic aggregate, OverQoS can provide a variety of services including: (a) smoothing packet losses; (b) prioritizing packets within an aggregate; (c) statistical loss and bandwidth guarantees.
