TLDR
The QOS Broker is a software engineering technique that uses this principle to arrange for the delivery of end-to-end quality of service in distributed multimedia systems.Abstract:
In human affairs, brokers are intermediaries with specialized knowledge who work toward a mutually desirable outcome through negotiation. The QOS Broker is a software engineering technique that uses this principle to arrange for the delivery of end-to-end quality of service in distributed multimedia systems. An experimental prototype using a telerobotics application helped identify the technique's limitations and system requirements. >read more

Performance guarantees for Web server end-systems: a control-theoretical approach
TL;DR: This paper uses feedback control theory to achieve overload protection, performance guarantees, and service differentiation in the presence of load unpredictability, and shows that control-theoretic techniques offer a sound way of achieving desired performance in performance-critical Internet applications.

A quality of service architecture
TL;DR: An overview of the Quality of Service Architecture (QoS-A) is provided and it is shown how QoS levels contracted at the transport service interface can be assured in the context of the authors' local ATM environment.

Software, systems and methods for managing a distributed network
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system for managing a distributed network (10) environment including a plurality of computers (22,24) interconnected by a network link (24), where at least some of the computers include a layered communication protocol stack for providing a data interface between an application program (98, 122) and the network link, the communications stack having a transport protocol layer for providing an end-to-end communications connection.

Metadata enabled push-pull model for efficient low-latency video-content distribution over a network
Satish Menon,Sanjay Singal +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a push-pull model for efficient low-latency video-content distribution over a network is proposed, where metadata is used as a vehicle and mechanism to enable intelligent decisions to be made on content distribution system operation.

RSVP: a new resource ReSerVation Protocol
TL;DR: The resource reservation protocol (RSVP) as discussed by the authors is a receiver-oriented simplex protocol that provides receiver-initiated reservations to accommodate heterogeneity among receivers as well as dynamic membership changes.

A scheme for real-time channel establishment in wide-area networks
Domenico Ferrari,Dinesh C. Verma +1 more
TL;DR: The results are judged encouraging: the approach satisfies the guarantees even in worst case situations, uses the network's resources to a fair extent, and efficiently handles channels with a variety of offered load and burstiness characteristics.

Supporting real-time applications in an Integrated Services Packet Network: architecture and mechanism
TL;DR: This paper considers the support of real-time applications in an Integrated Services Packet Network (ISPN), and proposes an ISPN architecture that supports two distinct kinds of real time service: guaranteed service, which involves pre-computed worst-case delay bounds, and predicted service which uses the measure performance of the network in computing delay bounds.

RSVP: a new resource reservation protocol
TL;DR: A resource reservation protocol (RSVP), a flexible and scalable receiver-oriented simplex protocol, that provides receiver-initiated reservations to accommodate heterogeneity among receivers as well as dynamic membership changes and supports a dynamic and robust multipoint-to-multipoint communication model.
