Abstract

Recently, the Internet community has been working on extensions to the current Internet protocol suite in order to enable service guarantees or differentiation. However, standardised solutions to integrate IP and ATM still are restricted to best-effort service. Therefore, this paper deals with a framework for QoS based interworking between IP and ATM. Network element state with QoS attributes is thereby controlled by RSVP and ATM and an appropriate translation from and to each other. Signalling and traffic control issues related with that translation are of particular concern for this paper. Moreover, the building blocks of an interworking unit prototype architecture as planned by the ACTS DIANA project are presented.

This document specifies a method for allowing ATM-attached hosts that have direct ATM connectivity to set up end-to-end IP over ATM connections within the reachable ATM cloud, on request from applications, and for the exclusive use by the requesting applications. This allows the requesting applications to benefit in a straightforward way from ATM's inherent ability to guarantee the quality of service (QoS).

This memo describes version 1 of RSVP, a resource reservation setup protocol designed for an integrated services Internet. RSVP provides receiver-initiated setup of resource reservations for multicast or unicast data flows, with good scaling and robustness properties. Internet Draft RSVP Specification May 1996 Contents Braden, Zhang, et al. Expires November 6, 1996 [Page 2] Internet Draft RSVP Specification May 1996 1 Introduction This document defines RSVP, a resource reservation setup protocol designed for an integrated services Internet [RSVP93,ISInt93]. The RSVP protocol is used by a host, on behalf of an application data stream, to request a specific quality of service (QoS) from the network. The RSVP protocol is also used by routers to deliver QoS requests to all nodes along the path(s) of the data stream and to establish and maintain state to provide the requested service. RSVP requests will generally, although not necessarily, result in resources being reserved along the ...

This document describes issues and approaches related to aggregationof QoS requests, when RSVP [BZB+97] is the protocol used to conveysuch requests. Aggregation is an important component to providescalable QoS solutions, especially in the core of the backbonewhere the sheer number of flows mandates some form of aggregation.However, aggregation needs to be provided without impacting theability to provide end-to-end QoS guarantees to individual flows.In this document, we review some of ...

The growing use of multimedia communication applications, with specific bandwidth and real-time delivery requirements has created the need for an integrated services Internet in which traditional best-effort datagram delivery can coexist with additional enhanced quality of service (QoS) delivery classes. Such classes provide data flows with QoS commitments with regard to bandwidth, packet loss, and delay through the reservation of network resources along the data path, which can be done using the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP). This article is a tutorial on how RSVP can be used by end applications to ensure that they receive the end-to-end QoS that they require

Tag switching is a way to combine the label-swapping forwarding paradigm with network-layer routing with particular application to the Internet. This has several advantages. Tags can have a wide spectrum of forwarding granularities, so at one end of the spectrum a tag could be associated with a group of destinations, while at the other end, a tag could be associated with a single application flow. At the same time, forwarding based on tag switching, due to its simplicity, is well suited to high-performance forwarding. These factors facilitate the development of a routing system that is both functionally rich and scalable. Last, tag switching simplifies the integration of routers and asynchronous transfer mode switches by employing common addressing, routing, and management procedures

Mapping the connectionless IP multicast service over the connection oriented ATM services provided by UNI 3.0/3.1 is a non-trivial task. This memo describes a mechanism to support the multicast needs of Layer 3 protocols in general, and describes its application to IP multicasting in particular. ATM based IP hosts and routers use a Multicast Address Resolution Server (MARS) to support RFC 1112 style Level 2 IP multicast over the ATM Forum's UNI 3.0/3.1 point to multipoint connection service. Clusters of endpoints share a MARS and use it to track and disseminate information identifying the nodes listed as receivers for Armitage Expires August 22nd, 1996 [Page 1] Internet Draft February 22nd, 1996 given multicast groups. This allows endpoints to establish and manage point to multipoint VCs when transmitting to the group. The MARS behaviour allows Layer 3 multicasting to be supported using either meshes of VCs or ATM level multicast servers. This choice ma...
