MPAT: Aggregate TCP Congestion Management as a Building Block for Internet QoS
Overview Today Internet QoS is deployed piecemeal-typically at known bottleneck links like enterprise access links or wireless links. A more comprehensive, end-to-end QoS deployment, for instance across large enterprise networks or the global Internet, remains elusive. There is growing interest in the idea of using overlay networks to provide differential QoS services (improve performance for some flows at the expense of other flows). A necessary building block is the ability to provide differential service over a single overlay link that traverses many IP router hops. This paper presents MPAT, the first truly scalable algorithm for fairly providing differential services to TCP flows that share a bottleneck link.
