Abstract: Quality of service (QoS) routing has generally been addressed in the context of reservation-based network services (e.g. ATM, IntServ), which require explicit (out of band) signaling of reservation requests and maintenance of per-flow state information. It has been recognized that the processing of per-flow state information poses scalability problems, especially at core routers. To remedy this situation, in this paper we introduce an approach for stateless QoS routing in IP networks that assumes no support for signaling or reservation from the...
