Abstract
QoS Provisioning for 3P over xDSL remains a challenging task due to the effects of line impairments on such services. Differently from simple data, video and voice services have strict requirements for loss and delay tolerance. The accurate assessment of final service quality is part of this provisioning process, but its direct measurement is yet not practical. In this paper we explore the possibility of estimating service quality, with focus on video delivery, by investigating its relationship with performance data available to xDSL operators and deriving models for estimating quality from this data. Experiments using a real xDSL platform and different noise types were conducted. The derived models showed to be accurate enough to estimate video quality for the scenarios evaluated.
