  1. Traffic modelling and traffic control ... • ... are necessary for QoS (or qos) and this is still an issue • (over)provisioning... • ... and controlled sharing • QoS tends to mean "hard" qos (Intserv-like) • for an announced connection – a priori traffic descriptor, admission control, scheduling and/or traffic conditioning • statistical network calculus is the state of the art in realizing hard QoS guarantees (delay < d, negligible loss) • Diffserv is softer qos • aggregate descriptors, conditioning and per hop behaviours • but how can we meet the SLA's? • some believe even softer qos is sufficient (and necessary?) • a self-managed Internet... • ... or a network with implicit admission control and implicit differentiation • we also need modelling to understand best effort control! • eg, TCP modelling and re-design NeXtworking’03 June 23-25,2003, Chania, Crete, Greece The First COST-IST(EU)-NSF(USA) Workshop on EXCHANGES & TRENDS IN NETWORKING

  2. Answering the questions • is standard queueing theory enough? • frequently: model at the appropriate granularity, seek insensitivities • is first course control theory enough? • significant advances: cf. work on stability of TCP • how can we understand time-scale interactions and design for them? • time scale separation is key to successful modelling • but beware of drawing conclusions without regard to all time scales • are time varying averages enough, or do we need to capture higher moments? • insensitivity results suggest time averages are often sufficient • stationarity is a key assumption – is this valid with LRD traffic?

  3. Answering the questions • what happens to "effective" bandwidth and good old Erlang? • effective bandwidth is useful for sizing • Erlang is still insensitive ... to criticism! • why are we insisting on modelling TCP and RED • evolution to higher rates, ensure stability, improve fairness? improve efficiency? • why did it take us some time to be more careful? • self-similarity vs pseudo ss, limit cycle vs instability, etc • who was not careful? who is now more careful?
