Special Topics: Diffserv Model Xuan Chen Nov 22, 2002 Outline Diffserv architecture Diffserv simulation in ns Implementation of diffserv model in ns Thanks for Nortel advanced network group for contributing the original code! Diffserv (Differentiated Services) IP QoS architecture based on packet-marking Differentiating traffic classes according to requirements (policies) Discarding more packets in low priority traffic class upon congestion Diffserv attempts to restrict complexity to only the edge routers No end-to-end resource reservation Diffserv Architecture Three major components Policy and resource manager Create network policies Distribute policies to the Diffserv routers Edge routers: packet marking Core routers: PHB Diffserv Policy A policy specifies which traffic receives a particular level of service in the network TSW (time sliding window) policy: Clark, D. And W. Fang. Explicit allocation of best effort packet delivery service.“, 1998 Traffic profile: expected throughput Mark packets as IN when the measure traffic rate complies to its profile; Otherwise OUT Drop more OUT packets upon congestion Edge and Core Routers Edge router’s responsibilities: Classifying incoming traffic according to policy specified and measurement Marking packets with a code point that reflects the desired level of service Core router’s responsibilities: Differentiating incoming packets based on code point and entries in PHB (per-hop-behavior) table Outline Diffserv architecture Diffserv simulation in ns Implementation of diffserv model in ns Steps for Simulation Configuration Setup edge and core “routers” Configure Diffserv queues Add diffserv policy Entry in policy table Entry in PHB table Collect packet statistics Example: token bucket marking policy with priority scheduling More examples under ~ns/tcl/ex/diffserv/ Scenario CBR traffic from S1 and S2 to D As we have discussed in previous session E1 and E2 are edge routers, C is core router Token bucket policy and priority sc
