Abstract :
A “reserved bandwidth” service is described as a quality of service enhancement in the vBNS. Design of this service is based on the characteristics of vBNS user traffic and the state of the art of commercially available technology. An evolutionary strategy is adopted for vBNS QoS development with this service as the initial offering. Its implementation scheme and issues are discussed in detail. Future extension to include differentiated services is also described
