This paper focuses on the problem of coherent resource allocation within home and access networks. The interdomain QoS signaling discussed here enables the initiation of the QoS provisioning in the home and access from the end device in users home. The home network considered in this paper is UPnP-QoS enabled while the access network is GMPLS based. We propose and implement an interface between aforementioned network segments allowing for end-to-end QoS establishment. We present the QoS parameters and mechanisms in both UPnP-QoS and GMPLS and how they can be matched to create a coherent QoS architecture. Additionally we investigate the complexity of such a solution and present implementation results.
