Abstract :
Bandwidth is engineered for heterogeneous service via a layered notion of required bandwidth. The required bandwidth is requested to satisfy grade of service up to the layer of concern. The most important use of this layer required bandwidth is for bandwidth allocation at the path layer. The mathematical properties of the optimal policy are explored. Based on these properties, a fast and accurate algorithm is derived for computing required bandwidth. Numerical examples are given
