Bridging And Managing QOS - Cable And Home Networks (2001)
By Mariano Schain, Itay Sherman, Texas Instruments – Cable Broadband Communications
In order to enable end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for different services, sush as voice and video, a mapping of the QoS mechanisms of any two bridged networks must be supported and configured. A direct mapping approach is not scalable or feasible. In this paper we present a generic QoS scheme. We present in detail the QoS framework of DOCSIS1.1 and provide an overview of the QoS support in current and future versions of home networking protocols and architectures (e.g. 802.11, HPNA). For the frameworks presented, we explore the method to map their QoS mechanisms to the generic scheme, thus allowing scalable indirect QoS bridging.
