Abstract
In spite of the emergence of high network infrastructures, bandwidth is still an extremely valuable and scarce resource. Therefore, all performance guarantees in communication networks are conditional on currently available bandwidth capacity. In view of the remarkable growth in the number of users and the limited bandwidth, an efficient bandwidth management is very important and has been an active area of research over the last decade. Bandwidth management is the process of measuring and controlling the communications (traffic, packets) on a network link to avoid filling the link to capacity or overfilling the link, which would result in network congestion and poor performance of the network. The objective of these mechanisms is to maximize the overall network performance. This chapter discusses bandwidth management.
