The Equivalent Differentiated Services Model
UCBL/ENS-Lyon
INRIA/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 schema aims to provide a spectrum of 'different but equal' network services that offer to the end-to-end flows a trade-off between delay and loss rate. The EDS schema can be deployed incrementally in the Internet.
