Abstract
This document was originally submitted as an internet draft in November of 1997. As one of the documents predating the formation of the IETF's Differentiated Services Working Group, many of the ideas presented here, in concert with Dave Clark's subsequent presentation to the December 1997 meeting of the IETF Integrated Services Working Group, were key to the work which led to RFCs 2474 and 2475 and the section on allocation remains a timely proposal. For this reason, and to provide a reference, it is being submitted in its original form. The forwarding path portion of this document is intended as a record of where we were at in late 1997 and not as an indication of future direction.

The two markers system for TCP and UDP flows in a differentiated services network
There are two cruxes of issues identified in differentiated services (Diffserv) networks: one is TCP dynamics, and the other is the interaction of TCP and UDP flows for assured forwarding per hop behaviour (PHB). The saw-tooth like behaviours of TCP ...

Two important issues in assured services within differentiated services architecture are bandwidth guarantee and fair sharing of unsubscribed bandwidth among TCP flows with and without bandwidth reservations. Although the subscribed bandwidth can be ...
