description

In differentiated services networks, packet marking schemes can be devised to differentiate packets belonging to a same TCP flow, with the goal of improving the experienced performance. This paper presents an analytical model for an adaptive packet marking scheme proposed in our previous work. The model combines three specific sub-models aimed at describing i) the TCP sources aggregate ii) the marker, and iii) the network status. Some preliminary simulative results seem to validate the model.
