Cross Layer QoS Implementations
Virgil Dobrotă, Andrei Bogdan Rus · IGI Global eBooks · 2012
Quality of service has been an open issue from the beginning, due to the Internet paradigm of delivering the datagrams as simple as possible, on a hop-by-hop basis. As an answer to the inefficiency of the legacy solutions, rethinking of Internet principles brought among other ideas the self-management. Based on a clean-slate approach applied within FP7-4WARD project, this chapter proposes preliminary design and implementation of a key management capability of the near Future Internet, i.e. Cross-Layer QoS. Its applications are focused on congestion control (triggering activation of network-coding techniques) and QoS-aware routing based on a modified Dijkstra’s algorithm.
