Abstract
The success of the Internet lies in its simplicity; however, this comes at a cost of only best effort non-differentiated service. For years, institutions such as the IETF have been trying to introduce a QoS architecture to the current IP network. Unfortunately, the proposed QoS models, i.e., Integrated Services (IntServ) and Differentiated Services (DiffServ), are not suitable for the Internet as a whole. To provide a service at a reasonable level, under the terms of congestion, some priorities and discriminations must be imposed. The aforementioned architectures propose the use of a reservation protocol and a packet marking scheme, respectively; however, these solutions require proper inter-domain agreements, complex router implementations, and, most of all, end-user compliance. Besides IntServ and DiffServ, many other QoS architectures have been proposed for IP networks.
QoS is …Quite often Stupid!

Notes
- 1.
Fair rate is one of the measured indicators of the link condition and is defined in Sect. 2.6.
- 2.
UDP flows were chosen as they are only shaped by the queuing algorithms, and not by the protocol behavior. This allows us to present solely the features of the queuing disciplines.
