Even though many admission control approaches exist, most of them suffer from the fact that they are based on some very rigid assumptions about the per-flow and aggregate underlying traffic models, requiring manual reconfiguration of their parameters in a “trial and error” fashion when these original assumptions stop being valid. In this paper we present a fuzzy reinforcement learning admission control approach based on the increasingly popular Pre-Congestion Notification framework that requires no a priori knowledge about traffic flow characteristics, traffic models and flow dynamics. By means of simulations we show that the scheme can perform well under a variety of traffic and load conditions and adapt its behavior accordingly without requiring any overly complicated operations and with no need for manual and frequent reconfigurations. %G English %Z TC 6 %Z WG 6.6 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01529796/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01529796/file/978-3-642-30633-4_4_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01529796 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01529796 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-AIMS %~ IFIP-WG6-6 %~ IFIP-LNCS-7279
