The Equivalent Differentiated Services
UCBL/ENS-Lyon
This document describes EDS (Equivalent Differentiated Services), a new building-block for a simple, robust, free and scalable end-to-end service differentiation in IP networks. The EDS scheme aims at providing a spectrum of 'different but equivalent' network services that offer a trade-off between delay and loss rate to the end-to-end flows. The EDS scheme can be deployed incrementally in the Internet.
