Recent demands for new applications are giving rise to an increasing need of Quality of Service (QoS). Nowadays, most IP-based networks tend to use the DiffServ architecture to provide end-to-end QoS. Traffic conditioners are a key element in the deployment of DiffServ. In this paper, we introduce a new approach for traffic conditioning based on feed-back signaling among boundary nodes and traffic conditioners. This new approach is intended to provide a poportional distribution of excess bandwidth to endusers. We evaluate through extensive simulations the performance of our proposal in terms of final throughput, considering contracted target rates and distribution of spare bandwidth. Results show a high level of fairness in the excess bandwidth allocation among TCP sources under different network conditions.
