Abstract
The fast Internet growth has led to high demands for QoS provisioning mechanism to be
implemented in the future Internet This dissertation presents the development and
implementation of a resource reservation scheme to allocate and manage resources in the
future internet. Resource reservation as one of QoS techniques used for QoS provisioning in
the network is crucial for many newly developed user applications to flourish and prosper.
The Scalable Efficient Reservation Protocol (SERP) is proposed to efficiently allocate and
manage resources in the future Internet. The proposed scheme, Scalable Efficient
Reservation Protocol (SERP), takes into consideration the fact that the future Internet will
accommodate both real-time and non-real-time applications. Relevant design goals and
principles were identified and these led to a formulation of a corresponding model.
A simulation of the model was conducted to evaluate the performance of the developed
scheme. The experimental results do show that SERP reduces the router load with less states
information to be maintained. Use of aggregate-based reservation further reduces states
information. Consequently SERP improves scalability. The results further demonstrate that
SERP has high request acceptance probability and more connections are established for end-to-end reservation.
