The importance of quality of service (Qo S) has risen with the
recent evolution of telecommunication networks, which are
characterised by a great heterogeneity. While many applications
require a specific level of assurance from the network;
communication networks are characterized by different service
providers, transmission means and implementer solutions such as
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Internet protocol version 4
(IPv4), IPv6 and MPLS.
Providing comprehensive coverage of Qo S issues within
heterogeneous network environments, ‘Qo S Over Heterogeneous
Networks’ looks to find solutions to questions such as does
Qo S fit within heterogeneous networks and what is the impact on
performance if information traverses different network portions
that implement specific Qo S schemes.
Includes:
* A series of algorithms and protocols to help solve potential
Qo S problems.
* State of the art case studies and operative examples to
illustrate points made.
* Information on Qo S mapping in terms of service-level
specification (SLS) and an in-depth discussion of related
issues
* Chapters end-to-end (E2E) Qo S, Qo S architecture, Qo S over
heterogeneous networks and Qo S internetworking and mapping.
An ideal book for graduate students, researchers and lecturers.
System designers, developers and engineers will also find
‘Qo S Over Heterogeneous Networks’ a valuable
reference.
