Abstract
Two aspects of quality of service (QoS) matching for integrated fast packet networks, QoS translation and QoS negotiation, are presented. The user-specified, traffic-dependent QoS has to be translated into corresponding constraints on network-oriented QoS, which are not traffic dependent, so that internal network functions such as routing can be uniformly applied. To accommodate diverse QoS requirements, the network must incorporate QoS negotiation procedures among the network and the users.
