DELIVERABLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

D1301 Specification of traffic handling for the first trial
 
This deliverable specifies the traffic handling mechanisms for the first trial. The traffic han-dling mechanisms are defined in the AQUILA project at three different levels: traffic control, admission control and initial provisioning. The traffic control mechanisms are referred to the packet level control in the IP routers (i.e., scheduling and policing). The admission control mechanisms are referred to the dynamic flow level admission control performed by the AQUILA resource control layer. The initial provisioning mechanisms are referred to the "off-line" configuration of the traffic control and admission control mechanisms.
