In this paper, we attempt to improve the performance in congested parts (CP) of an asymmetric network using network controls and routing mechanisms. Typically, an asymmetric network is characterized by non-uniform link capacities or uneven traffic load or both. In such a network, certain service classes can experience poor performance in parts of the network, even when the average performance is very close to the expected performance level. We studied a network derived from an actual service provider network with asymmetric concentration of traffic. We have developed two metrics in order to capture the congested part behavior in a network. In order to understand the generality of our conclusions, we used three variations of our network and show that controls like Service class based Multi-link Dynamic Capacity Reservation (SMDCR) with a properly chosen reservation factor, significantly reduce variability in the performance over all parts of the network.
