Abstract

As broadband connection capacities increase, residential network users can experience performance degradation when multiple applications run concurrently over bottlenecked wireless access points (APs). This paper presents Classification and Treatment iN an AP (CATNAP), a plug-and-play solution, that automatically classifies and treats flows passing through an AP without any user intervention. Implemented in NS-2 and evaluated against DropTail and Strict Priority Queuing under various network and traffic conditions, CATNAP provides better QoS support for VoIP, games and streaming video applications.
