Quality of Service with Bandwidth

Abstract: This paper deals with providing Quality of Service (QoS) over IP based networks. We are going to give a brief survey about this topic, and present our work at this area. There are many solutions of the problem, but the standardization of the methods is not finished yet. At the moment there are two kinds of approaches of the reservation problem. The distributed method handles the network nodes independently, and get the nodes making their own admittance decisions along the reservation path (i.e. Border Gateway Reservation Protocol BGRP. The centralized way -we discuss in details-, which collects the network nodes into domains, and handles them using a network manager. Generally there are two significant parts of the network management: intra domain, and inter-domain. This article focuses on making reservations over several domains, which is the part of the inter-domain functions.
