%X Despite the abundant literature written about the AF PHB,
no solution has been found to efficiently face up its two
goals, assuring a minimum rate to the users and offering a
fair distribution of the excess bandwidth if available. The
Counters Based Modified (CBM) traffic conditioner,
presented in a previous work, is able to achieve these
objectives in single-node topologies. This paper raises
issues with providing bandwidth assurance and spare
bandwidth distribution for TCP flows in more complex
topologies than usual. Simulation results explore the
effect of target rates, round trip times, and efficiency of
CBM when up to three network nodes implement service
differentiation, including in some cases the coexistence of
assured service and best-effort traffics.
