Managed Bandwidth Next Generation F. Saka UCL NETSYS (NETwork SYStems centre of excellence) Networkshop 2003
Outline Overview of project goals Recent findings Future activities Conclusion Networkshop 2003
Project goals • Implement Practical QoS Test-beds in the UK. • Multi-domain • MPLS in the core • Diffserv at the edges • Allowing Applications to use QoS enabled Internet via a Middleware • High bandwidth data transfers • End-to-End network services to Europe and US Networkshop 2003
Industrial and research partners • MB-NG (http://www.mb-ng.net) • Academic partners: UCL, Manchester, Southampton, RAL, Cambridge, Lancaster. • Industrial partners: Cisco, Spirent and Acterna, UKERNA & ULCC. • Significant support and interest! Networkshop 2003

Router notes for QoS Networkshop 2003
TCP Improvement • High-Speed TCP and variants • High Speed TCP: S. Floyd http://www.icir.org/floyd/hstcp.html • Scalable TCP: T. Kelly http://www-lce.eng.cam.ac.uk/~ctk21/scalable/ • FAST: S. Low http://netlab.caltech.edu/FAST/ • Basic idea is to change the behaviour in Congestion avoidance • Reduce the decrease parameter compared to normal TCP • Increase the increase parameter compared to normal TCP Networkshop 2003
