Integrated QoS Provision and Congestion Management for Interconnection Networks

Both QoS support and congestion management techniques have become essential for achieving good performance in current highspeed interconnection networks. However, traditional techniques proposed for both issues require too many resources for being implemented. In this paper we propose a new switch architecture that efficiently uses the same resources to offer both congestion management and QoS provision. It is as effective as previous proposals, but much more cost-effective.
