Novel techniques for assessing resource requirements in packet-based networks
The lack of quality of service (QoS) guarantees is the classic problem of packet switching networks. Despite the access technologies (e.g. DSL) providing sufficient transmission speed are already available, without such QoS guarantees the rapid spread of novel, value-added services can not be imagined. In this article a novel technique capable to approximate the minimum bandwidth that should be provided for an aggregated network traffic flow in order to maintain a predefined QoS level is introduced. This new method can form the basis of load control (e.g. call admission control) algorithms to be applied in future packet-based networks.
