Adaptive admission control for supporting class-based QoS

This paper introduces a novel admission control algorithm called dynamic measured sum (DMS), which is based on active measurements of the actual load. The kernel of the algorithm is the dynamical adjustment of the measurement period length, which hence enables a better matching to the traffic changes and results in an obvious improvement of delay performance. Furthermore, the multi-class admission control framework (MAC) represents a framework for multi-class and dynamic flow-aware admission control, which performs its admission decision by considering the class priority to which the flow requests belong and the particular resource capacity proportion allocated per-class, thus supports the guaranteeing of class-based bounded commitments.
