Abstract
Providing QoS-guaranteed services in current installed networks is an important issue, but only the deploying QoS services is not enough to guarantee their success: QoS management must also be provided. Nowadays, police-based management addresses this need, but such management is not enough either. Network managers often deal with QoS tasks that cannot be performed using only policy-based management. This paper describes six important QoS management-related tasks (QoS implementation, operation maintenance, discovery, monitoring, analysis and visualization) and shows solutions that can help managers proceed with these tasks. Unfortunately, these solutions are independent from each other, leading to a scenario where integration is difficult. To solve this lack of integration, QAME (QoS-Aware Management Environment) has been developed. QAME provides support to allow the execution of the defined QoS tasks in an integrated fashion.
