•Use of the DiffServ weights shown gave a significant improvement in the TMS delay.
•Improvement of
approximately 20% at saturation and
approximately 33% at
high load were seen.
•This confirms that DiffServ-style QoS can make a
significant improvement to
prioritized flows in the Maritime environment.
•Further studies in OPNET could be completed to determine
the impact of alternative
WFQ weightings.
