Abstract : This paper examines the performance problems associated with TCP flows running over assured service with one bit drop preference (one of the proposed services in the differentiated services architecture). The use of TCP-friendly differentiated services building blocks (specifically traffic conditioners) are investigated to alleviate these problems. The paper examines test configurations and evaluates the behaviour and performance of TCP flows with and without the proposed conditioners. 1,
