An admission control and deployment optimization algorithm for an implemented distributed Bandwidth Broker in a simulation environment

This paper describes and tests a distributed bandwidth broker that has
been implemented in NS simulator. It focuses on the admission control
algorithm, its advantages and drawbacks. Also, the bandwidth broker is tested,
managing the IP Premium service and we compare 2 different implementations
of the service. Finally it approaches the problem of the optimal location of a
bandwidth broker in a backbone network. For this purpose, a new model is
proposed that evaluates each node and finally selects the most capable node
where the base bandwidth broker should be located.
