Quality of service

Mehr zum Buch

The book covers a range of topics related to Quality of Service (QoS) and network management, including an invited program and full papers addressing various aspects of service-oriented architectures, self-organized networks, and overlay networks. It discusses high-throughput multicast infrastructures, transport layer adaptations in heterogeneous wireless networks, and frameworks aimed at improving TCP performance over lossy channels. The analysis includes QoS guarantees in multimedia CDMA systems, object detection quality in sensor networks, and self-tuning fuzzy control for web servers. Further insights are provided on the impacts of individual frame losses on speech quality, advanced QoS protocols for real-time content delivery, and designing predictable internet backbones. The text examines differentiated QoS in MPLS networks, transient loop avoidance, and stochastic service guarantees in communication networks. Short papers delve into QoS authentication, admission control concepts, and improvements for WiFi hotspots. It also addresses privacy and reliability through dispersive routing and distributed algorithms for MPLS-TE. The impact of QoS on industry and academia, the need for QoS in wireless systems, and research issues in personal networks are explored, alongside perspectives on hybrid networks and mission-critical applications over multi-service networks.
