Quality of Service in Data Networks: Products

Gautam Ray, Ohio State University

Abstract:

IP only provides best-effort service. This paper highlights the importance of quality of service (QOS) in data networks and reviews four important standards for providing quality of service; ATM, IntServ, DiffServ, and MPLS. The paper then compares ten contemporary products in terms of how they provide quality of service.
