QoS Management Challenges


To limit the amount of BW for web during the
day but be flexible enough to impose fewer
limits during off-hours
To ensure that file transfers don’t interfere
with mission-critical traffic during the day
but allow important ordering and financial
file transfers that run during the night to get
through during their time window
KNOM2001
8
QoS Management Challenges




To allow A/V to be delivered with minimum
delay
To ensure that the response time for SAP,
PeopleSoft, and Tn3270 traffic is three
seconds or less and consistent
To ensure that the remote offices serviced by
the VPN receive good service
To limit new peer-to-peer traffic such as
Napster
KNOM2001
9
QoS Management Challenges



To map and guarantee customer’s QoS
requirements in a service provider’s network
To monitor, measure, and analyze traffic to
ensure SLA and to account for billing
Not a few international firms adopted QoS
solutions already and some domestic firms
such as a national-scale bank is considering
QoS solutions for their mission-critical
applications
KNOM2001
10
TE Challenges





TE is particularly important concern to service
providers
Traffic increases much faster than expected
Thus, over-provisioning doesn’t seem to justify
the cost
Large NSPs & ISPs tend to depend on TE for
their traffic (QoS) & resource (utilization)
control
Current IGP control mechanism is limited
KNOM2001
11
TE Challenges

Ideally TE requires





Modification of traffic management parameters,
Modification of parameters associated with routing,
Modification of attributes and constraints associated
with resources
The level of manual intervention involved in the
TE process should be minimized whenever
possible
TE system includes



a set of interconnected network elements,
a network performance monitoring system,
a set of network configuration management tools
KNOM2001
12
TE Challenges


On-line TE and Off-line TE is not competitive but
complementary to each other
 This is particularly important from the Network
Management perspective
Although MPLS is designed to meet these
requirements, there are still some efforts to achieve
TE objectives by modifying the current routing
protocol mechanisms
 by changing link state flooding frequencies
 The integrated approach that achieves TE
objectives based on physical topology routing
instead of full-mesh overlaying routing (e.g.,
ATM, MPLS)
KNOM2001
13
QoS Management & TE Challenges

The Question is not, “Do you need a
QoS or TE manager?” but “Which QoS
or TE manager is right for you?”
