Title
A distributed resource controller for QoS applications
Abstract
The Distributed Resource Controller ( DRC) technology described in this paper provides a novel approach to interfacing applications with emerging n etwork mechanisms to d eliver Quality of Service (QoS) and controlling n etwork resource utilization. DRC aims to unify network services (e.g., Diffserv, Intserv, and ATM) and application QoS provisioning by introducing a middleware system and a set of generic interfaces. DRC middleware is the c ore part t hat t ranslates application requests for QoS delivery into respective access to underlying network systems in a manner that optimizes resource utilization and shelters applications from such a complexity. Applications can request QoS to the DRC middleware in two ways: either in-line using the DRC QoS API or off-line via the DRC utility. Application QoS requirements are specified in terms of two categories of parameters: Traffic Profile (quantitative) and User Expectation (qualitative). DRC currently uses the CORBA-based ob ject-oriented technology to d evelop a CORBA-based Resource Controller ( CRC). The working CRC prototype built to manage the Integrated Services is also presented.
