Abstract

This paper describes the design, implementation and testing of a test bed supporting flow-based classification functions for multiservice traffic. Protocol and statistical analysis of application flows is performed in the edge routers to provide EF treatment to multimedia traffic without any user signaling. These functions take advantage of the Linux Traffic Control environment and implement SLA management and traffic statistics collection. Sample measurement performed on the test bed shows the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed solution.
