I'm a grad student at MIT/LCS, doing research into the automatic
characterization of network flows - analyzing traffic in real time to
attempt to "learn" about flows' classes of service (without having to
know anything a priori about the protocols being used). Has anyone
encountered similar research? I've been having a tough time finding
any. (I figured this would be a good place to ask, since perhaps one
application of such an engine would be to annotate packets automatically
with a DS field.)

Thanks,
Jon

People should be aware that this list contains more than 2000 names.
This why all messages should be as short as possible and of course
relevant to the working group's charter objectives. 

Some facts about the way the list is administered:

  Excessive bounces from an address (i.e. 20 or more) will cause that
  address to be disabled.

  There is a 25 kbyte limit on postings. Even the administrators
  cannot post messages beyond this limit. Remember, the IETF works
  in ASCII.

  At the moment, posting is restricted to list members as an anti-spam measure.
  Non-spam, non-trivia postings from non-members will be forwarded manually
  when time permits.

  To unsubscribe, go to
  http://www1.ietf.org/mailman/options/diffserv/<your email address>
  or in desperation, mail to diffserv-request@ietf.org
  (NOT to the list itself).

That may be correct in theory, but in practice I am sure the situation Asim decribes
will arise (for example if all of one customer's traffic gets the same SLA). What happens
is exactly what happens today: you have effectively created a private Internet with
TCP and non-TCP traffic competing. TCP will slow down and UDP will lose data.

First, can someone please tell me how EF and AF are implemented in
DiffServ? I know that there are 4 physical queues.  Are these queues AF
or EF?  

Second, does anyone know what the officially recommended scheduling
method is for AF: RR, WRR, etc?

Thank you,
Karen Gray

No, there are as many queues as you happen to need acording to
how many PHBs are configured on a given interface. In theory that is
any number between 1 and 64 (meximum number of DSCP values).

> or EF?

Depends on local configuration

There is no recommendation. It's an implementation decision, not a
standards issue. The standard simply requires an implementation that
meets the PHB group definition. If you look at the MIB, you will see
that even the choice of scheduler is a configuration choice.

Hi,
I know the ECN-based proposals  how to control TCP-based incoming traffic
in DiffServ architecture. Has it at the moment a practical value? Why not
to use egress TCP traffic policing?
Could you  point out on-going research how to control UDP incoming traffic
if it conforms to the customer contract (receiver-based traffic control) in
the diffserv architecture?

rgrds
Andrzej

Hi,

actually I'm making some tests with diffserv and Cisco routers.
The tests consist of transmission of some video streams (UDP) and =
varying the parameters of the Token Bucket (both parameters: average =
rate and burst size). I would like to know if there must be any =
correlation between the graphics obtained?
Could anybody tell me where can i find detailed information on Token =
Bucket algorithm and tests results related on Token Bucket?

Thanks.

I suggest you to use the following book   " QoS and Traffic Management in IP
and ATM Networks " that you could
find at -->
http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/0071349596/qid=1001325002/sr=1-6/ref=s
r_1_0_6/171-9875715-7785050
<http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/0071349596/qid=1001325002/sr=1-6/ref=
sr_1_0_6/171-9875715-7785050> 

Here, you'll get an accurate description of the Token Bucket mechanism
(diagram, algo and statistical approach).

This book is a very good help if you have to understand generic or specific
aspects of QoS.


If you are interested I can send you  a PPT file  describing the mechanism
Token bucket
with curves (plotted with Gnuplot)  that are the result of simulations.

Hi!

MRED algorithms are based on RED. In this, to compute average queue lenght
when a packet enters an empty queue, the s parameter have to be computed (s
in the Floyd paper, 1/PTC in ns implementation - DiffServ module).
m is "the number of packets that might have been transmitted by the gateway
during the time that the line was free" and s is "a typical transmission
time for a small packet".

My question is:

e.g.
I have an outgoing link of 10 Mbit/s in a DiffServ enabled router. An AF PHB
is configured to have 2 Mbit/s of bandwidth and a MRED mechanism is applied
to it.
How should I compute s? Should I consider 10 Mbit/s or 2 Mbit/s? (I guess 2
Mbit/s, but in ns 10 Mbit/s is considered).

Thanks


Sergio

Hi Sergio,

I have not deeply studied the code you're talking about. However, as you explain in your mail, it seems reasonable to use 2 Mbps instead of 10 Mbps. Even if the "typical transmission time for a small packet" is strictly size/10Mbps, if you're limiting the bandwith to 2 Mbps you're somehow increasing the actual trasnmision time for that traffic and slowing down the "virtual link" for that traffic.

Using 2 Mbps sounds more logical to me but, as I say, I have not deeply studied the code so this is just my opinion.

Regards,

Jorge.

yes, you are right; but the parameter m is supposed to represent the number
of packets that might have been transmitted during the idle time for the
specific queue. Hence, the queue service rate should be used.

If you have time check http://www.aciri.org/floyd/papers/early.pdf page
20-21 and dsredq.cc file (diffserv module, ns), function setPTC and enque.
