Abstract
Quality of Service (QoS) describes the guaranteed delivery of applications based on the low delay and packet loss requirements. A set of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) normally specify the QoS requirements as described in Chapter 5. QoS is delivered by restricting the total amount of traffic competing for the same amount of resources if the ingress traffic exceeds the minimum capacity of the network. The network capacity is effectively proportioned by the packet prioritization, so that higher priority traffic is unaffected by the lower-priority traffic. QoS guarantees can be made either over an aggregate of communication associations or individual flows. QoS is assured by reserving resources such as bandwidth and buffer space [238].
