Abstract
In this paper, we exploit a prioritized-service architecture and apply a priority based traffic control scheme to reduce abusive Internet access, improve fairness among users and study users. behavior under a prioritized service for Internet access. The Internet access by dormitory users of National Taiwan University (NTU) serves as a conveyer problem. There are two classes of service. The regular class has a volume quota for each user, which is designed to meet majority users’. essential demands while limiting abusive usage of quality service. The custody class is lower in service priority with no volume quota limitation. Our mathematical models for design and analysis include individual and aggregate user demand models and a network performance model. The priority control scheme is implemented over an existing NTU dormitory network with additions of a QoS router, a meter reading server, an accounting server and a user interface server. The control leads to 48.9% reduction in average packet drop rate, 42.2% improvement in a fairness measure, reduction of abusive Internet access by 57.82% and 145.09% Internet access increase in majority users. Such results are quite consistent with predictions of our mathematical models.
