ABSTRACT (maximum 200 words) The use of interconnected networks has permeated most
aspects of society. Along with this explosion in the use of computer networks the demands for
increasingly capable applications has placed great demands upon the network transport
protocols to ensure to the user high throughput, reliable service, and virtual real-time response.
The current Internet, the descendent of the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, is
routed in the Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This protocol stack has no
mechanism for providing guarantees to network clients regarding the quality of service
provided. Further, the routing of traffic across the network is router centric, providing no
mechanism for optimization of resource allocation to client service requirements. This thesis
provides a method for dynamically controlling the allocation of network resources within an
autonomous system by a central server. The algorithm significantly improves the performance
of the server over the previous prototype and enables the server to add or remove routers from
the network topology on the fly in response to status messages from the participating routers.
