An Intelligent Policy-based networking environment for dynamic negotiation, provisioning and control of QoS

摘要

The development of real time applications (voice, video) implies the introduction of QoS mechanisms into IP networks. The IETF proposed a general framework for the control and management of these IP networks. Configuration, control and management are governed by policy rules. To provide a service with QoS guaranties, it is interesting dynamically to be able to create or modify these policy rules. In this paper we investigates the use of intelligent agents for dynamic negotiation, provisioning and control of QoS in policy-based networking environment.
