An adaptive model for the real-time management of quality-of-service in the OSI reference model
V. Tran, T.B. Maples · 2002
This paper presents an adaptive protocol model which supports the dynamic management of traffic through real-time scheduling algorithms and QoS re-negotiation. The model, known as QoS-based adaptive architecture through packet scheduling (Q-ADAPTS), is based on the integration of existing OSI-based standards and real-time scheduling algorithms to support both top-down and bottom-up traffic management for multimedia and C/sup 3/ networks. The model addresses many of the limitations regarding QoS management which exist in the current OSI standards.
