A Contemporary Technique to Guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) for Heterogeneous Data Traffic

Abstract

The upcoming high-speed networks are expected to support a wide variety of real-time multimedia applications. However, the current Internet architecture offers mainly best-effort service and does not meet the requirements of future integrated services networks that will require guarantee for transferring heterogeneous data. There are many parameters involve in improving the performance of a computer network such as reliability, delay, jitter, bandwidth, etc. These parameters together determine the Quality of Service (QoS). The requirements of the above parameters will vary from one application to another application. Applications like file transfer, remote login, etc., will require high reliability. But, applications like audio, video, etc., will require low reliability, because they can tolerate errors. The objectives of this paper are to propose a technique to store the results of a data transfer in binary based on the above parameters, to compare the expected requirements with the actual requirements, to show performance degradation and to suggest ideas to minimize differences between expected requirements and actual requirements. Ultimately, the outcome of this paper will give better results to improve the performance of the network.
