Summary:Discusses the use of link-sharing mechanisms in packet networks
and presents algorithms for hierarchical link-sharing. Hierarchical
link-sharing allows multiple agencies, protocol families, or traffic
types to share the bandwidth on a link in a controlled fashion.
Link-sharing and real-time services both require resource management
mechanisms at the gateway. Rather than requiring a gateway to implement
separate mechanisms for link-sharing and real-time services, the
approach in the paper is to view link-sharing and real-time service
requirements as simultaneous, and in some respect complementary,
constraints at a gateway that can be implemented with a unified set of
mechanisms. While it is not possible to completely predict the
requirements that might evolve in the Internet over the next decade, the
authors argue that controlled link-sharing is an essential component
that can provide gateways with the flexibility to accommodate emerging
applications and network protocols
