2006 International Workshop
"Towards the QoS Internet"
To-QoS'2006
University of Coimbra, Coimbra,
Portugal
May 19, 2006
To be held in conjunction with
2006 IFIP Networking Conference
Providing Quality of Service (QoS) into the Internet requires implementation at the
network level
a variety of mechanisms and algorithms dealing with the call and packet
handling, network resource managing etc. In addition, they should operate at different time scales, from the time
scale of milliseconds for handling packets in the routers up till the longer time scale, say hours, for
performing some actions to manage network resources in an optimum way. Furthermore,
a signaling system is
extremely required to inform the network about the user-application needs. As a consequence, enhanced
QoS-oriented architectures mainly based on DiffServ concept are currently investigated and tested in research
networks. Anyway, to provide QoS we need to make an essential update of current Internet infrastructure. The
workshop is aimed at presenting and discussing current activities in this area, including the results coming
from running research projects.

- QoS mechanisms in access and core networks
- Inter-domain aspects
- Classes of service
