A global service level guarantee in NGN networks

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an end-to-end service level negotiation protocol which enables a global service offer covering quality of service (QoS) and security while taking into account user's mobility in this offer. This protocol provides all the domains involved in the transport of a various offered services with a negotiation capability to achieve an agreement on a service level. This paper shows also results of measurements evaluating the performances of the considered negotiation protocol and security impact on QoS.
