Differentiated services to scale Internet access

This paper is focused on the role of Differentiated Services at the access networks in supporting real-time services. Differentiated Services were originally introduced to create virtual partitions in long-haul networks where real-time applications can be transported without being disturbed by other types of traffic. We demonstrate using simulations that Differentiated Services can also be used in broadband access networks in supporting real-time applications. Use of Differentiated Services reduce the amount of state that networks need to keep track of, thus facilitates large-scale deployment of integrated services broadband access networks.
