In this work we are attempting to devise a DiffServ-based service model for relative differentiation of traffic in a network serving aggregated traffic. The service model proposed aims at providing a minimum capacity during congestion and a bounded average end-to-end delay to profile-conforming traffic, obtaining thus a relatively better performance when compared to the best-effort service. We provide the framework on which the proposed service model is based and we present results from its deployment in a simulation environment.1 aBouras, Christos1 aSevasti, Afroditi  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/performance-analysis-diffserv-enabled-network-case-relative-service
