Summary :

A typical user is concerned only with the quality of service of a network on an end-to-end basis. Therefore, how end-to-end requirements are mapped into the local switching node requirements and maximum network utilization is a function of network internal design. In this paper, we address the problem of QOS allocation. We derived an optimal QOS allocation policy and decided the maximum utilization bound in a deterministic traffic model. We adopted the worst case delay bound as the end-to-end and local QOS requirement. With (σ, ρ) traffic model, we derived a formula for delay bound and the number of connections. We found that with the delay bound as the QOS metric, there is a significant difference in the performance of allocation policies. We also developed an evaluation strategy to analyze allocation policies. The numerical results for two simple network topologies: tandem network model and uneven traffic load model, compare the equal allocation policy with the optimal allocation policy and show the correctness and efficiency of QOS allocation policy.
