DEVELOPMENT OF ENHANCED DIFFERENTIATED SERVICES MODEL OF CAMPUS INTERNET NETWORK A CASE STUDY OF AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY, ZARIA

📄 Project Abstract

Modern campus networks are designed for high-speed service with the capacity to handle many organization's bandwidth requirements, support data applications such as electronic-mail, web and files sharing services. These networks sometime lack the capacity to guarantee quality of service for voice, video and other interactive applications due to bandwidth requirement and high packet end-to-end delay. In some networks, voice, video and other interactive packets must be given priority in terms of bandwidth and delay over less-time-sensitive packets such as mail or file sharing for the networks to meet the QoS demand of these voices, video and other interactive applications. In this research, best-effort service model currently employed in Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Internet network and differentiated services networking model define in RFC 2474 were analyzed. Enhanced differentiated services model was developed to improve and achieve better reduction in packet end-to-end delay of inter...
