TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed hierarchical naming system and a network element for marking traffic in a packet-switched data network is proposed, which comprises a marking rule store for storing marking rules, in which each marking rule is indicative of a quality of service level allocated to traffic on a connection impinging on the network element.
Abstract: A network element and method for marking traffic in a packet-switched data network which comprises a distributed hierarchical naming system and the network element The network element comprises a marking rule store for storing marking rules, in which each marking rule is indicative of a quality of service level allocated to traffic on a connection impinging on the network element The network element derives from the distributed hierarchical naming system quality of service level data for a connection, stores in the marking rule store a marking rule for the connection based on the retrieved quality of service level data and marks traffic on the connection in accordance with the marking rule

TL;DR: Service level agreements are increasingly being used in enterprise networks and are contracts that specify the performance parameters within which a network service is provided.
Abstract: Service level agreements are increasingly being used in enterprise networks and are contracts that specify the performance parameters within which a network service is provided. In this article their application, preparation, and effects on IT departments are considered. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

22 Oct 2001TL;DR: A hierarchical bandwidth management model for multiservice networks that provides management at a transport level and at a service/application level to provide increased network scalability without sacrificing bandwidth management efficiency and flexibility is presented in this paper.
Abstract: A hierarchical bandwidth management model for multiservice networks that provide management at a transport level and at a service/application level to provide increased network scalability without sacrificing bandwidth management efficiency and flexibility. In particular, in an Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) environment, a method of hierarchical bandwidth management in a multiservice network supporting various quality of service levels (e.g. EF, AF1, AF2, BE) and a number of applications (e.g. ATM, MPLS, IP, FR) is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: establishing a transport connection tunnel (e.g. an E-Label Switched Path(LSP)) between pairs of the edge nodes in the network; and managing bandwidth of the transport connection tunnel among the quality of service levels and the applications. In an exemplary embodiment the invention also provides a hierarchical admission structure: one at a transport level for the label switched paths and one at a service level for user/application connections. The hierachical bandwidth management model (exemplified in a method and an apparatus) provides the ability to share and/or partition bandwidth by application and quality of service and the ability of customer-controlled trade-off of bandwidth guarantee (per application/QoS) and network efficiency (i.e. low fragmentation).
