A review of the architecture of admission control schemes in the Internet

Abstract

Admission Control (AC) is an efficient way of dealing with congestion situations in a network. Using AC, when network resources in a path are not enough for all flows (i.e., during congestion), some of the flows receive the requested service and the rest do not. Congestion situations can be reduced by increasing network resources or by optimizing their use through better routing techniques, but if congestion still occurs, AC achieves efficient use of network resources by maximizing the number of satisfied flows. However, using AC complicates the network scheme, and therefore a major concern is making the AC as simple as possible. In this paper we review the main AC schemes that have been proposed for the Internet, focusing on the simplicity of their architectures in terms of the number of nodes that participate in the AC, the required state, the use of signaling, and others.

Cross-Layer Admission Control to Enhance the Support of Real-Time Applications in WSN

“…The Admission Control (AC) mechanisms can be categorized as centralized or distributed [6]. The centralized AC assumes that only one entity performs the AC decisions and that such entity exchanges signaling packets with ingress nodes when new flows arrive.…”

Network Performance in HTML5 Video Connections

“…It is also important to know the kind of content is being transmitted as well as the most appropriate protocols in order to adequate the transmission parameters to reach good values of quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) [6]. Problems in network capacity can limit the amount of data the users can receive and thus the quality of video [7]. So, it is imperative the use the most adequate codec and container to transmit the video.…”

A new IP video delivery system for heterogeneous networks using HTML5

“…But it involves the drawback of the need for adequate bandwidth as well as endto-end quality of service [2]. The bandwidth of the customer limits the amount of information of data, and thus video, that can be received by the user [3]. So it is imperative the use of video compression algorithms to decrease the bitrate of the video stream and achieve the lowest video size.…”
