A prioritized scheduling service model for assured forwarding in DiffServ architectures and its analysis

Assured service has been proposed within the differentiated services architectures to provide relative service differentiation by attempting to allocate bandwidth to different users in a controlled way during periods of network congestion. In this paper, we analyze the assured service scheme by means of a priority queueing system with state-dependent service scheduling based on thresholds. We consider the case of two classes of priority, carry out a mathematical analysis and numerically obtain the average delay endured by packets in each priority class and the loss probability for each class.
