Admission control and bandwidth management for VLANs
T. Alj, Jean‐Charles Grégoire · 2002
We explore how 802.1Q(p) can be successfully exploited within the DIFFSERV framework. Borrowing from work on INTSERV and SBM, but in keeping with a KISS philosophy, we analyze how, in combination with admission control and bandwidth management, we can deliver services with guarantees of quality for applications such as VoIP on a per-VLAN basis. In conclusion, we show that it possible to use a pure layer-2 infrastructure to support large-scale deployment of new services in a wide regional area.
