AbstractOn the demands for variety of services in the Internet, the quality assurance and reliability in IP network have become more important. DiffServ is a scalable QoS-enabled architecture proposed to be an Internet core network. The network has to provide both new QoS-aware and legacy QoS-unaware applications with appropriate resources provisioning. Admission control is a key component to achieve this goal. However, with several proposed admission control mechanisms, only the support to QoS-aware applications is taken into account even though most of current Internet applications are QoS-unaware. This thesis work proposes an admission control mechanism for providing QoS guaranteed services to QoS-aware applications and special marking to QoS-unaware applications when the network is in light-load situation. The proposed mechanism utilizes the analyzable curve-based calculation for both admission control and special marking decision. The experimental results show that the proposed mechanism can provide the deterministic QoS guarantees to QoS-aware applications as well as the improved traffic treatment to QoS-unaware applications without any QoS degradation.
