ABSTRACT
Emerging Internet Quality of Service (QoS)
mechanisms are expected to enable wide spread use of real time
services such as VoIP and videoconferencing. The "best effort"
Internet delivery cannot be used for the new multimedia applications.
New technologies and new standards are necessary to offer Quality
of Service (QoS) for these multimedia applications. Therefore
new communication architectures integrate mechanisms allowing
guaranteed QoS services as well as high rate communications.
The service level agreement with a mobile Internet user is hard
to satisfy, since there may not be enough resources available
in some parts of the network the mobile user is moving into. The
emerging Internet QoS architectures, differentiated services and
integrated services, do not consider user mobility. QoS mechanisms
enforce a differentiated sharing of bandwidth among services and
users. Thus, there must be mechanisms available to identify traffic
flows with different QoS parameters, and to make it possible to
charge the users based on requested quality. The integration of
fixed and mobile wireless access into IP networks presents a cost
effective and efficient way to provide seamless end-to-end connectivity
and ubiquitous access in a market where the demand for mobile
Internet services has grown rapidly and predicted to generate
billions of dollars in revenue.
This tutorial covers to the issues of QoS provisioning in heterogeneous
networks and Internet access over future wireless networks as
well as MPLS, DiffServ, IntServ frameworks. It discusses the characteristics
of the Internet, mobility and QoS provisioning in wireless and
mobile IP networks. This tutorial also covers routing, security,
baseline architecture of the inter-networking protocols and end
to end traffic management issues.
