Admission Control

*It is a network function that computes the resource(bandwidth and buffers) requirements of new flow and determines whether the resources along the path to be followed are available.
* Before sending packet the source must obtain permission from admission  control.
* Admission control decides whether to accept the flow or not.
* Flow is accepted if the QoS of new flow does not violate QoS of existing flows
* QoS can be expressed in terms of maximum delay, loss probability, delay variance, or other performance measures.
* QoS requirements:
o Peak, Average., Minimum Bit rate
o Maximum burst size
o Delay, Loss requirement
* Network computes resources needed like “Effective” bandwidth
* If flow accepted, network allocates resources to ensure QoS delivered as long as

source conforms to contract
