POSI Project
QoS II: Quality of Service in Computer Communication Systems

• The project
• Proposal and evaluation of algorithms, mechanisms and protocols to empower communication systems with QoS capabilities:
•  Application services to QoS requirements mappings
•  QoS monitoring and management in distributed environments
•  QoS routing
•  QoS to Class of Service (CoS) conversion

• The Team
• Communications and Telematics Group, Universidade de Coimbra
• Computer Communications Group, Universidade do Minho

• Pointers to  IETF working groups:
• DiffServ, IntServ  and RSVP
• OSPF, MOSPF and MSDP, BGMP (or MBGP)
• MPLS
• Pointers to Internet2  QoS WG working group

• Some usefull links
• ns (Network Simulator)
• DiffServ and ns
• TF-TANT (Diff Serv,  MPLS, IP/ATM, IPv6, Flows)
• TF-TANT QoS monitoring
• DIRM (Dynamic Integrated Resource Management) Project
• AREQUIPA (Application REQUested IPoAtm)
• ITTC, MIT
• Internet2 QBone
• QBone Architecture
• BBs na Internet2
• linux-diffserv, FreeBSD implementations:  I (ALTQ), II (TwoTier), mpls-ldp, ...
• ELISA (European Exp. Link. Internet IS and ATM)
• netperf (Network Performance Benchmark)
