Adaptive traffic measurement for MBAC system

Abstract

Quality of service guarantees have attracted a lot of research interest in the past decade as real-time applications are sensitive both to delay and loss. Dynamic management of system parameters like bandwidth and buffer capacity allows to gain essential performance benefits while quality of service guarantees are met. Recently, a method of admission control based on measurements (MBAC) have received a wide recognition. The present paper shows several solutions to minimize possible errors of flows parameters estimation which is critical for making the correct decision about a new flow allowance.
