Abstract

This paper considers measurement-based admissions control procedures for Controlled-Load services [Wro96]. First, we discuss some of the factors that reduce the requirements on a measurement-based admissions control procedure in an Internet environment with a strong mix of realtime and data traffic. Next, we discuss measurement-based admissions control procedures for Controlled-Load services that are based on the approach of equivalent capacity. Finally, we show some measurements of audio traffic for small audioconferences, and discuss why such traffic could be among the most problematic for measurement-based admissions control procedures. 1 Introduction This paper makes several observations about measurement-based admissions control procedures for Controlled-Load services [Wro96]. We begin with a general discussion of the factors that would allow a measurement-based admissions control procedure to succeed even in the presence of traffic that is difficult to predict. Next, we discuss ...
