Abstract
In this paper we present Cross-protect, a combination of router mechanisms allowing quality of service differentiation while maintaining the simple user-network interface of the best effort Internet. By associating implicit flow level admission control and per-flow fair queuing in a router it is possible to distinguish streaming and elastic flows and meet their respective quality requirements without requiring specific packet marking. We describe the implied mechanisms and justify the claimed performance and scalability properties by means of simulation and analysis.Keywords
