It could be an important part of admission control process in SLA creation (DiffServ networks). Naturally, it is off-line algorithm and we can use it only through negotiation process (SLA creation), just to ensure better QoS end-to-end routing in the moment of service invocation. The problem is seen as an expansion problem of link capacities in given limits for given traffic demands (SLAs). Such explicit traffic engineering technique provides the possibility to intelligently tailor the route such that different parts of the network remain equally loaded. It helps to avoid the creation of bottleneck links on the path and maintains high network resource utilization efficiency. Also, it is capable to consider the impact of end-to- end delay on network resource provisioning, in the moment of SLA creation. Index Terms - admission control in DiffServ networks, SLA creation, end-to-end QoS routing, traffic routing of aggregate flows.","PeriodicalId":265923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Telecommunications, 2005.

The framework bases itself on the concept of \"Clusters\" which can, in fact, be used to model many other network problems. Our effort is targeted towards a large- scale initiative for designing a Unified Modeling Language (UML) Profile for conceptual modeling of typical next- generation network problems. In this paper we present UML-based framework to support modeling ITE problems. The modeling framework extends UML 1.5 and is contributes towards an initiative by the authors to create a robust UML Profile for ITE (PoITE). The contribution of the work is to provide the area of ITE with basic concepts and structure for designing UML models for solving ITE problems. In brief, the area of ITE encompasses issues pertaining to the performance evaluation and performance optimization of operational IP networks. Traffic Engineering (9,10), as such, focuses on the application of technology and scientific principles to the measurement, characterization, modeling, and control of network or inter-network traffic (3). ITE is a complex area of networking that takes into account many aspects and scenarios corresponding to different environments. However, in this paper, we consider an abstraction that avoids many finer details of ITE, and instead, focuses on providing a generic framework that can support modeling ITE problems.

In terms of outputs, evaluation criteria for a research project must take into account such, we well as other \"particularities\"; for example, that proving that something can not be done may represent a positive result for a research project.

The arrival process to the high priority queue is correlated and consists of a train of a fixed number of cells, while the low priority traffic consists of batch arrivals that are independent and identically distributed from slot-to-slot. In the first part of the paper, we derive an expression for the functional equation describing the transient evolution of this priority queuing system. This functional equation is then manipulated and transformed into a mathematical tractable form, which allows us to derive the transient joint probability generating function (pgf) of the system. From this transient pgf, time-dependent performance measures such as transient probability of empty queue, transient mean of buffer occupancy and instantaneous packet overflow probabilities can be derived. By applying the final- value theorem, the corresponding exact expressions for the steady-sate marginal pgfs of the system contents are derived. Finally, we illustrate our solution technique with some numerical examples, whereby we demonstrate the negative effect of correlation (in the high-priority queue) on the performance of the low-priority queue. The proposed approach which is purely based on probability generating functions is entirely analytical and does not require any matrix concepts. The paper presents new results on the transient and steady-state performance analysis of priority queues.","PeriodicalId":265923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Telecommunications, 2005.

This type of network requires special routing to form connections between end stations. Computing and procuring the necessary equipment to support a network's demands is called provisioning. Reliable network provisioning should include spare capacity allocations, in addition to the usual working capacity allocations. Given that provisioning must start somewhere, planners estimate the demands they will encounter. Once this is done, algorithms may be applied which compute the shortest path for each demand according to the best route types. This paper will describe our solution to this provisioning problem. It will also show how we incorporated it into a comprehensive planning tool which was developed in cooperation with a major U.S. carrier.","PeriodicalId":265923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Telecommunications, 2005.

This paper proposes a mechanism that exploits locality of demand in order to increase the perfor- mance of wireless data dissemination systems. Specifically, it trades the received energy per bit redundancy at distances smaller than the radius of the service area for an increased bit rate for transmission of items demanded by clients at such distances. This results to an increased transmission speed for many items. The bit rate for an item transmission is dynamically determined from the distance between the server's antenna to the group of clients that demand this item via a simple feedback from the clients. Simulation results are presented that reveal significant performance im- provement over fixed bit rate broadcasting in environments characterized by locality of client demands.","PeriodicalId":265923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Telecommunications, 2005.
