Pierre Lévis, Mohamed Boucadair · 2008
This memo analyzes provider-to-provider Quality of Service (QoS) agreements suitable for a global QoS-enabled Internet.It defines terminology relevant to inter-domain QoS models.It proposes a new concept denoted by Meta-QoS-Class (MQC).This concept could potentially drive and federate the way QoS inter-domain relationships are built between providers.It opens up new perspectives for a QoSenabled Internet that retains, as much as possible, the openness of the existing best-effort Internet.
