Controlled Use of Excess Backbone Bandwidth for Providing New Services in IP-over-WDM Networks

Résumé

We study an approach to Quality of Service that offers end-users the choice between two service classes defined according to their level of transmission protection. The Fully Protected (FP) class offers end-users a guarantee of survivability in the case of a single link failure; all FP traffic is protected using a 1:1 protection scheme at the WDM layer. The Best-Effort Protected (BEP) class is not protected; instead restoration at the IP layer is provided. The FP service class mimics what Internet users receive today. The BEP traffic is designed to run over the large amounts of unused bandwidth that exist in today's Internet. The goal is to increase the load carried on backbone networks without reducing the QoS received by existing customers. To support two such services, we have to solve two problems: the off-line problem of mapping logical links to pairs of disjoint fiber paths, and an on-line scheduling problem for differentiating packets from two classes at the IP layer. We provide an algorithm based on a Tabu Search meta-heuristic to solve the mapping problem, and a simple but efficient scheduler based on Weighted Fair Queuing for service differentiation at the IP layer. We consider numerous requirements that carriers face and illustrate the tradeoffs they induce. We demonstrate that we can successfully increase the total network load by a factor between three and ten and still meet all the carrier requirements.
