AQUILA defines, evaluates, and
implements an enhanced architecture for QoS in the Internet. Existing approaches
e.g. Differentiated Services, Integrated Services and label switching technologies
will be exploited and significantly enhanced, contributing to international
standardisation. The architecture will be designed to be cost-effective
and scalable. It introduces a software layer for distributed and adaptive
resource control and facilitates migration from existing networks and end-user
applications. Technical solutions will be verified by testbed experiments
and user trials, including QoS-enhanced on-line multimedia services. Business
plans for further exploitation will be studied. |
