Objective AQUILA defines, evaluates, and implements an enhanced architecture for QoS (Quality of Service) in the Internet. Existing approaches e.g. Differentiated Services, Integrated Services and label switching technologies (e.g. MPLS, Multi-Protocol Label Switching) will be exploited and significantly enhanced, contributing to international standardisation.The architecture will be designed to be cost-effective and scalable. It introduces a software layer for distributed and adaptive resource control and facilitates migration from existing networks and end-user applications.Technical solutions will be verified by testbed experiments and user trials, including QoS-enhanced on-line multimedia services. Business plans for further exploitation will be studied. Objectives:To enable dynamic end to end QoS provisioning in IP networks for QoS sensitive applications - To continuously analyse customer requirements and market situations and to create applicable business plans- To design a cost-effective, scalable and backward compatible QoS architecture enhancing the Differentiated Services architecture with dynamic resource and admission control - To enable migration to and deployment of QoS-enabled networks - To develop a novel resource control layer extending Bandwidth Broker functionality - To implement prototypes of the QoS architecture as well as QoS based end user services - To provide a toolkit for migration of end user applications to QoS To create tools for QoS monitoring and management- To develop and integrate a distributed QoS measurement infrastructure - To validate the architecture in testbeds and user trials - To contribute to standardization bodies like IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), ITU (International Telecoms Union), OMG (Open Management Group)- To keep the project open for new concepts and recent developments Work description:Result:- Innovative network architecture for QoS in the Internet- Analysis of relevant traffic control mechanisms- Distributed resource control layer for IP networks- QoS management tool Milestones:- M11, M12: begin/end of 1st integration and trial phase- M22, M21: begin/end of 2nd integration and trial phase Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwarenatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesinternet Programme(s) FP5-IST - Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on a "User-friendly information society, 1998-2002" Topic(s) 1.1.2.-4.2.3 - Network integration, interoperability and interworking Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT Address Wittelsbacherplatz 2 80333 Muenchen Germany See on map EU contribution € 0,00 Participants (11) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all ARVATO SYSTEMS GMBH Germany EU contribution € 0,00 Address An der autobahn 33311 Guetersloh See on map CORITEL - CONSORZIO DI RICERCA SULLE TELECOMUNICAZIONI Italy EU contribution € 0,00 Address Via anagnina 203 00040 Morena - roma See on map ELISA OYJ Finland EU contribution € 0,00 Address Kutomotie18 00380 Helsinki See on map NATIONAL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS Greece EU contribution € 0,00 Address 9, heroon polytechniou str. 15773 Athens See on map POLITECHNIKA WARSZAWSKA Poland EU contribution € 0,00 Address Plac politechniki 1 00-661 Warszawa See on map Q SYSTEMS Greece EU contribution € 0,00 Address 84, vassilissis sophias avenue 11528 Athens See on map SALZBURG RESEARCH FORSCHUNGSGESELLSCHAFT M.B.H.
