Admission control for video-on-demand systems over ATM-over-DSL

In this paper, we propose a new admission control scheme for the VBR MPEG video in the VOD system over ATM-over-DSL access networks. In the proposed scheme, when a new video call is requested, the video server decides if the VOD system can provide the video call with its negotiated QoS without violating the QoS guarantees of existing calls in the network.
