SAR — A self-adaptive QoS aware network layer framework

Abstract

Quality of service frameworks in computer networks are sets of mechanisms that run over multiple network equipment with the aim of ensuring network services. Several frameworks have been developed using different approaches, each framework showing advantages but also drawbacks. In order to eliminate these shortcomings, a new organization of the bandwidth is proposed and a new framework for ensuring end-to-end quality of service was developed and implemented. The functionalities and performances of the proposed framework were tested and validated through an experimental methodology, using a software system for developing and testing of quality of services sensitive frameworks and technologies.
