AQM for dynamic QoS adaptation in DiffServ networks based on STAC

In this paper we propose a new paradigm for a Differential Service (DiffServ) network consisting of two-color marking at the edges of the network using TSW2CM coupled with self tuning adaptive controller (STAC) in the core. This scheme exploits online estimates of the network parameters in the controller parameters adjustment. The performance demonstrates that the new scheme is able to admit traffic fairly and achieve edge-to-edge QoS under heavy traffic conditions and network state changes. We illustrate our results using ns-2 simulations and demonstrate the practical impact of self tuning control on managing queue utilization and delay.
