Design and Evaluation of a Dynamic Traffic Control System for Continuous Media

Abstract

As a system for guaranteeing Quality of Service of continuous media by traffic control, there exists Integrated Services using Resource ReSerVation Protocol that guarantees bandwidth for object traffics by executing bandwidth control. This system, however, restricts bandwidth for other traffics through the session of object traffics because of its static bandwidth control. Then, to solve the problem, we studied and designed a dynamic traffic control system that can not only guarantee Quality of Service of continuous media perfectly but also generate excess bandwidth for other traffics by executing bandwidth control dynamically. Furthermore, we evaluated the performance of the system by experiment for confirming the effectiveness of it. In this paper, we describe the design of the system and the evaluation results.
