A Review of QoS Architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the past several years there has been a considerable amount of research within the field of quality of service (QoS) support for distributed multimedia systems. To date, most of the work has occurred within the context of individual architectural layers such as the distributed system platform, operating system, transport subsystem and network. Much less progress has been made in addressing the issue of overall end-to-end support for multimedia communications. In recognition of this, a number of research teams have proposed the development of QoS architectures which incorporate quality of service configurable interfaces and quality of service driven control and management mechanisms across all architectural layers. This paper examines the state-of-the-art in the development of QoS architectures. The approach taken is, initially, to present QoS terminology and a generalised QoS framework for understanding and discussing quality of service in the context of distributed multimedia systems. Following this, we consider current research in the area of layer specific quality of service support, and then, evaluate a number of QoS architectures that have recently emerged in the literature from the telecommunications, computer communications and standards communities.

—Quality of service (QoS) architectures have been required in recent years to support a wide range of distributed applications, particularly in wide-area systems. In the context of QoS information management associated with QoS activities, QoS information modeling and mapping enable QoS architectures to be developed independently of the underlying environment and/or application. This paper prov...

متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Two Scalable QoS Architectures
This paper performs a comparative evaluation of two QoS architectures, RSVP Reservation Aggregation and Scalable ReservationBased QoS, aimed at providing QoS levels similar to the ones provided by the well-known RSVP/IntServ architecture, but scalable enough for use in high traffic core networks. The comparative analysis, based on each model’s characteristics and on simulation results, shows th...

This article describes the current evolution of QoS architectures, mechanisms, and protocols in the Internet, as it is ongoing in the framework of the European Union funded research projects on premium IP networks. A short review of the proposed standard approaches to QoS (e.g., differentiated services, integrated services, and label switching technologies) is given. Then we focus on the state-...
متن کاملA Review of Quality of Service Architectures
The integration of distributed multimedia systems support into a communications architecture, including new multiservice networks, is important in realising end-to-end quality of service (QoS) guarantees. A key observation is that quality of service provides a unifying theme around which new QoS architecture can be constructed. For applications relying on the transfer of multimedia, and in part...
