A Lightweight Scheme of Differentiated Services for Home Networking

Lightweight mechanisms are included in the differentiated services architecture (diffserv) in order to provide differentiated services in the Internet. A Premium service lightweight scheme based on the delay ratio criterion with key-benefit a periodically developed conservative control mechanism is provided. Our model consists of a M/M/1/K queue for high priority (HP) packets and a finite queue birth–death (b–d) model for low priority streams. Simulation experiments under certain load and service conditions guarantee a constant delay ratio. The use of the algorithm is extended to different Home Networking Technologies (ADSL, Wireless Local Network, etc.) providing solutions to many of them.
