AMPS - ANStool: Interoperability of Automated Tools for the Provisioning of QoS Services

Tags:
quality of service

Overview Modern IP-based packet networks carry a number of varying services, and one of their crucial aspects is the implementation of Quality of Service (QoS) techniques. Packet networks that support QoS can accommodate simultaneously different traffic types, such as data, voice, and video, by handling time-critical traffic appropriately at congestion points. The most widely used architecture for providing QoS in today's packet networks is DiffServ, which is based on the concept of traffic classes. Each traffic class is mapped to a Per-Hop Behavior (PHB), and PHBs are implemented at routers by means of queuing and scheduling at congestion points, where queues are formed. By mapping different traffic types into different PHBs, routers are able to ensure service guarantees.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The LAN cabling and routers may need upgrading, new handsets will need to be purchased and a media gateway will need to be implemented. With MPLS in particular, applications can be graded into a number of classes.

VoIP: Don't forget about security

QoS [quality of service] is a key enabler when securing the network because we define certain types of traffic that are most likely to be generated by worm attacks, rate limiting those right at the edge of the network," he says.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Fat cat telcos are killing the net

Yes, it all works to some degree some of the time but continually increasing the number of VoIP and videoconference calls, radio and TV broadcasts just creates congestion, increased latencies and ultimately one meltdown after another.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
