Abstract

The Internet is a set of interconnected domains in which different QoS technologies can be deployed. The dynamic provision of end-to-end QoS over heterogeneousip networks assumes the negotiation of mutually acceptablesla. This paper presents the concept of intra-, inter- and multiple-domain service level negotiation using thecops-sls protocol. The negotiation process gives different parties in the negotiation the ability to agree upon the service level that a data stream can obtain, along with the permissible pricing of the service.

Résumé

Étant donné l’hétérogénéité des architectures de QoS déployées dans les réseauxip, la fourniture d’une QoS de bout en bout nécessite l’établissement d’une négociation desla (Service Level Agreement) entre les différents domaines mis en jeu. Cette négociation permet aux entités participantes de se mettre d’accord sur le niveau de service à offrir à un traficip. Cet article présente le concept de la négociation intra-, inter- et multi-domaine se basant sur le protocole de négociationcops-sls.
