Abstract

The unique nature of mobile ad-hoc networks(MANETs) imposes several challenges when providingQoS. Traffic traveling on a MANET can be local trafficarriving from and targeting a node within the ad-hocnetwork. Traffic that is not local to the MANET is likely totravel over fixed networks that employ DiffServ, IntServ,or a combination of both. This paper investigates theinteraction and the relation between a MANET networkand a hosting access domain that provide QoS supportpotentially based on two distinct paradigms (namelyIntServ, and DiffServ). The objective is to achieve a highlevel of autonomy. In this paper we propose a frameworksolution to the inter-domain agreements and the use ofaggregate RSVP for collective resource reservations.
