Project Number : IST - 2000 - 26417 Project Title : GN 1 ( GÉANT ) Deliverable D 9 . 9 Experiments with Less than Best Effort ( LBE ) Quality of Service

Less than Best Effort: Application Scenarios and Experimental Results

In this article we present the work done to study the potential benefits to end users and network operators and the feasibility of deploying a Less than Best Effort (LBE) service on a wide area scale. LBE is a Per-Domain Behaviour based on the Differentiated Services Quality of Service architecture. We present a brief overview of the evolution of the case for LBE, through the IETF DiffServ WG a...

GN 1 ( GÉANT ) Deliverable D 9 . 1 - Addendum 1

This addendum specifies the implementation architecture for the Premium IP service described in Deliverable D 9.1, which aims at offering the equivalent of an end to end virtual leased line service at the IP layer across multiple domains. The architecture is targeted at the GÉANT network and is applicable to each connected NRENs and local Diffserv domains. The architectures leverages the scalab...

Project Title : SEQUIN Deliverable D 2 . 1 - Monitoring and

SEQUIN investigates methods for providing QoS differentiated services over the IP-based networks such as the GÉANT network. Initially, the project defined a framework for supporting IP Premium service and described the procedures for establishing Service Level Agreements (SLAs) amongst networks such as GÉANT and the NRENs. In succession, SEQUIN investigates methods for monitoring the network be...

Information Society Technologies (ist) 6th Framework Programme Deliverable Reference Number: D-ia-8.3-7 Deliverable Title: Proceedings of the Third Workshop on Wireless and Mobility Project Co-funded by European Commission within the Sixth Framework Programme (2002-2006)

As the use of WLANs based on IEEE 802.11 increase, the need for QoS becomes more obvious. The upcoming IEEE 802.11e aims at providing QoS, but its contention-based medium access mechanism, enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA), provides only service differentiation. In order to provide QoS guarantees, we have proposed an extension called EDCA with resource reservation (EDCA/RR), which enha...
