Abstract
This memo describes two rate adaptive shapers (RAS) that can be used
in combination with the Three Color Markers (srTCM and trTCM)
proposed in [Heinanen1]. These RAS improve the performance of TCP
when a TCM is used at the ingress of a diffserv network by reducing
the burstiness of the traffic and thus increasing the proportion of
packets marked as green by the TCM. Simulation results showing the
improved performance are briefly discussed in the appendix.
