Meeting QoS Guarantees by End-to-End QoS Monitoring and Adaptation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design and implementation of the transport layer of a native ATM protocol stack and its embedding into an overall architecture that provides end-to-end quality of service (QOS) is presented. Within this architecture, the typical transport functionalities are enlarged with QOS monitoring and adaptation mechanisms. A QOS-based application programming interface is proposed that shields application programmers from the complexity of QOS management and control. Both unicast and multicast connections supporting interactive multimedia applications are considered.

Novel Methods For Determining QoS Parameters and Thresholds in End User's Service Level Agreement
Service level agreement (SLA) is a powerful tool to formalize the negotiation and agreement between the service provider and service seeker with the scope of service quality characteristics, compensations and tariffs. The service quality description is the main part of a SLA which can be characterized by the use of suitable and feasible quality of service (QoS) parameters. Determining suitable ...
متن کاملA novel monitoring architecture for media services adaptation based on network QoS to perceived QoS mapping
One of the future visions of multimedia networking is the provision of multimedia content at a variety of quality and price levels. Of the many approaches to this issue, one of the most predominant techniques is the concept of Perceived Quality of Service (PQoS), which extends the traditional engineering-based QoS concept to the perceptual satisfaction that the user receives from the reception ...
متن کاملProviding quality of service monitoring: challenges and approaches
Future integrated services networks will need to provide quality of service (QoS) guarantees to multimedia applications. To ensure that the contracted QoS is sustained, it is not sufficient to just commit resources. QoS monitoring is required to detect and locate the degradation of QoS performance. In addition, the distribution of QoS, instead of simply end-to-end QoS, needs to be monitored. In...
متن کاملAutonomous Runtime QoS Control for Composite Services in SOA
Negotiating multiple SLAs in itself is not sufficient to guarantee end-to-end QoS levels as SLAs in practice often give probabilistic QoS guarantees and SLA violations can still occur. Moreover probabilistic QoS guarantees do not necessarily capture time-dependent behavior, (e.g., short term service degradations). Therefore, the negotiation of SLAs needs to be supplemented with run-time QoS-con...
متن کاملChallenges and approaches in providing QoS monitoring
C omputer networks are evolving to support multimedia applications with diverse performance requirements. To provide quality of service (QoS) guarantees to these applications and ensure that the agreed QoS is sustained, it is not sufficient to just commit resources since QoS degradation is often unavoidable. Any fault or weakening of the performance of a network element may result in the degrad...
