The paper analyzes two solutions (IPv4 and IPv6) for interworking of network portions implementing different technologies belonging to diverse Autonomous Systems (ASes). While the implementation of QoS is a AS's concern, three topical problems should be solved at the interworking points (called Relay Points, RPs): 1) the definition of the RP convergence technology, 2) the signalling between the RPs, 3) the bandwidth pipes dimensioning for flows traversing the ASes. The paper investigates these points and proposes a description of the Service Level Agreements available in the heterogeneous network as function of the RP protocol architecture.
