Abstract

Linux operating system kernel offers a wide variety of traffic control functions, including the mechanisms required to support the Integrated Services architecture developed in the IETF. The main objective of this work is the evaluation of the Linux Traffic Control IntServ implementation. The evaluation is focused in the Guaranteed Service due to the more stringent needs of this service. The evaluation assessed performance behaviour under different traffic loads, scalability and stability. The results shown that the Linux IntServ implementation has some limitations in the support of the Guaranteed Service loss and delay requirements, especially for a high number of flows with small packet sizes.
