Part II Congestion, Capacity Allocation, and Pricing in All-IP Networks
The evolving demand for heterogeneous QoS levels is the key driver for the introduction of QoS differentiations. As described in Sections 6 and 7, a wide variety of technologically complementary traffic management mechanisms is available to facilitate the implementation of required service differentiations for the Internet. On the one hand, there are some mechanisms located at upper layers of the Internet protocol stack that can provide (scalable) QoS differentiations without requiring modificat
