Abstract

A set of five practically manageable Network Services is proposed for the IP QoS AQUILA architecture and implemented in a prototype network. QoS capabilities of routers in conjunction with Admission Control (AC) and Resource Pool (RP) allow for an efficient handling of traffic requiring different packet transfer characteristics. The paper presents the trial results illustrating the effectiveness of the AQUILA network for providing a well-differentiated Network Services set. Performed trials cover both, technical parameters such as per Network Service behaviour, signalling performance and user acceptance referring to application behaviour using the entire AQUILA architecture.
