Abstract

Different Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms have been proposed over time. Differentiated Services (DiffServ) represents one of the main QoS mechanisms developed, and is based on a strategy of traffic differentiation. Introduced in order to be used within DiffServ, the single rate Three Color Marker (srTCM) represents a policer which meters the IP packet stream and marks the traffic with different drop probabilities. This paper presents the technical aspects of implementing the srTCM in one of the most important network simulation tools on the market, OPNET Modeller. Practical considerations and a test case of the proposed implementation are presented.
