Abstract

For the increasing demand of QoS guarantee by recent multimedia applications, network protocols developers are stressing the routers by suggesting new services, which overload routers and affect their performance. Those new services include resource reservations in the network elements and QoS routing. The resource reservation services offer immediate and advance reservations that are handled by network elements. Resource reservations result in reservations states for admitted flows, which will not scale well for the Internet. In this work we present architecture for domain agency, which handles the resource reservations and the QoS routing in the domain. The domain agency is mobile, where it exists in a network domain and whenever the domain is split into smaller domains, the parent domain agency dispatches child agencies to each new domain. The main components of the domain agency are Domain Resource Reservation Agent, Quality of Service Routing Agent, Domain Admission Control Agent and Reservations State Agent.
