Mark D. Pardue, John A. Harvey, K. D. Haupt, T. A. Orlando · 1986
This paper first examines quality of service as it applies to the Transport Service of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model. Quality of service and some of the quality of service parameters applicable to the Transport Service are discussed. Also presented is a new concept concerning the "building-up" of quality of service. These ideas are then used to discuss the concept of robustness.
