Abstract

This article discusses an architecture using monitoring feedback as an assisting factor for delivering QoS on packet-based networks. The handling of this feedback is done in an automated way, through the use of a policy-based management architecture. For this, a formal model for describing data plane and measurement objects was translated into an XML-based configuration language. On top of this, a proof-of-concept management architecture was developed and evaluated, using both a modified network simulator and enhanced Linux prototype routers.
