一种基于软件代理的QoS管理技术

IETF提出使用RSVP协议确保能在Internet上得到QoS。但是，目前已经存在一些网络资源，如路由器，不支持RSVP协议，如果在路由器路径上存在这种网络资源，则不能确保端端传输质量。本文提出了一种基于软件代理来管理QoS方法，它遵循开放式可编程网络结构，能弥补在Internet上资源预留模式RSVP的不足。

AN AGENT-BASED APPROACH OF QOS MANAGEMENT

Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) has been proposed by IETF to manage Quality of Service in Internet. Unfortunately, network resources, such as routers, do not yet fully support RSVP. If there are such network resources (which can not support RSVP) in the router path, then the system can not gain certain end-to-end QoS. An agent-based approach is proposed to improve Quality of Service provisioning. The approach follows the open programmable networks paradigm for complementing still- defective Internet reservation schemes.
