Node-Based QoS Improvement Mechanisms

  • Chapter
Quality of Service in Optical Burst Switched Networks

Part of the book series: Optical Networks ((OPNW))

  • 283 Accesses

Abstract

Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms in a network can be broadly divided into two categories: QoS improvement and QoS provisioning mechanisms. A QoS improvement mechanism can be defined as any mechanism that improves the general performance of the network. Although less obvious than QoS provisioning mechanisms, QoS improvement mechanisms are very important in enabling the network to provide satisfactory service to end users. They allow the network to accommodate more users and reduce the cost of data transmission.
