Title:
Network service classes for deploying QoS-enabled services
Abstract: Configuring routers and networking equipment requires a great deal of expertise gained
through training and implementation experience.
Very frequently, the networking
terminology is neither intuitive nor obvious and requires further research into product
documentation or Internet standards before even basic configuration can be
accomplished. The DiffServ architecture provides a toolbox of QoS technologies that can
be used to create QoS-enabled services. However, unless one understands the relevant
IP and Link Layer QoS technologies, it is difficult for the service provider or Enterprise to
construct a QoS-enabled service. This presentation illustrates how network service
classes, similar to those in ITU-T Rec. Y.1541, can be used to simplify the deployment of
end-to-end QoS-enabled services.
