Specification and Validation of QoS‐Oriented Transport Mechanisms and Functions
Ernesto Expósito · 2012
This chapter discusses QoS-oriented transport mechanisms for both error control and congestion control functions. First, the chapter presents a set of requirements and design constraints guiding the development of these new mechanisms. Second, it talks about an error control mechanism intended to provide a partially ordered (PO) and partially reliable (PR) service explicitly or implicitly configured from the application requirements. This error control mechanism has also been enhanced to provide a differentiated and PR service. Both error control and congestion control mechanisms have been enhanced to take into account intrinsic application time constraints. Finally, the chapter discusses the validation of these mechanisms and various relevant study cases.
