Introduction (1)
What is EuQoS?
 6FR EU project: www.ist-euqos.org
 Objective: to develop solution for providing end-to-end QoS
in multi-domain, heterogeneous network (built over WiFi,
xDSL, UMTS, LAN, IP core)
EuQoS Approach
Providers

SME
Research
Signalling in the network to
allow user to communicate his
QoS needs
QoS is provided by
deployment of end-to-end
Classes of Service (CoS), that
support specific type of
traffics with respect to their
QoS requirements
Use measurements to support
EuSoS system functions: CAC,
TERO, OAM

Architecture of EuQoS MMS (1)

The role of EuQoS MMS system is to provide tools for:
 performing trials of EuQoS system:
• to prove that EuQoS CoSs provide QoS guaranties
 supporting EuQoS systems functions related with traffic
management:
• Call Admission Control (CAC) – to make CAC less preventive
• Operation and Maintenance (OAM) – to on-line monitor of QoS offered
by CoSs
• Traffic engineering (TERO) – to get knowledge about carried traffic,
traffic matrices (?)
 The key principles of EuQoS MMS:
 location of the measurement points in the multi-domain network
 development of required measurement tools (as much as possible
based on the available tools)

Architecture of EuQoS MMS (2)
Location of Measurement Points (MP)

to cope with heterogeneity of technologies all measurements on the
IP layer

MPs are placed where CoSs begins or ends to operate (intra-domain,
inter-domain, end-to-end)

Architecture of EuQoS MMS (3)
Reference location of MPs in the multi-domain network:
 the transit AS:
 MPXa – input interface of the ingress border router
 MPXb – entrance to the queue of output interface of the ingress border
router
 MPXc – input interface of the egress border router.
 MPXd – entrance to the queue on the output interface of the egress border
router
 the access AS:
 MPXt – at IP interface of the user terminal

Objective: Prove that EuQoS CoSs provide QoS
guaranties

 establish a test flow
 load the network up to CAC

MMS for supporting EuQoS system
functions (1)
Objective:
to support EuQOS system functions:

Call Admission Control (CAC)

Operation & Maintenance (OAM)
 To provide information about available routing paths toward destinations
joitly with available EuQoS CoSs
 To provide information about load carried on links that allows to make
CAC less preventive (Measurement Based Admission Control)
 To on-line monitor QoS offered by EuQoS CoSs for:
• detection of QoS failures
• provide „QoS certificates” for users

Traffic Engineering (TERO):
 To provide data for network provisioning
• Volume of traffic carried on inter-domain links
• Intra-domain traffic matrices
