only best effort packets are lost in the core. All
losses for better classes occur in the MRPs and as
all discarded packets are counted, loss measure-
ment is accurate. We cannot have losses in other
routers than the first MRP for any class better
than best effort since there is an RSVP pipe and
our RED algorithm does not allow more than
reserved bandwidth to the pipe. We also have an
admission control before the RED, so that if it
works perfectly, we would not discard any pack-
ets at all. Unfortunately, the admission control
cannot work perfectly as we do not have a source
traffic descriptor which the source would respect.
We must assume that the admission control fails
sometimes, but the RED per class will not fail.
By monitoring the loss ratio, we can better adjust
the admission control also.
