Abstract
The differentiated services approach to QoS in the Internet poses new challenges on the configuration and service provisioning side. The approach relies on an entity often referred to as a bandwidth broker. It configures the network elements so that guaranteed networking services are provided to customers. However, the DiffServ capable routers have a large variety of hardware configurations and different configuration interfaces (e.g. SNMP, CORBA, CLI). Therefore, we propose a QoS management API which is used by bandwidth broker implementations in order to configure the underlying routers. In our prototype we implemented a proprietary configuration interface to our Linux-based DiffServ router implementation.
