Feng Gang National Laboratory of Communication,UESTC Aug 2017 Ver 1.4 Essential need:Quality of Service ·Quality of service? Assured bandwidth from end-to-end (e.g.8Kbps for voice), communication privacy, minimal round trip time for packet delivery,Delay jitter regularity of the data flow, etc. ·Why IP QoS2 - Application is slow!(not enough BANDWIDTH) Video broadcast occasionally stalls!(DELAy temporarily increases-JITTER) - Phone calls over IP are no better than over satellite!(too much DELAY) Phone calls have really bad voice quality!(too many phone calls- PACKET DROPPS) 2616009:Network Traffic Engineering 1:Overview Page.5

Feng Gang National Laboratory of Communication,UESTC Aug 2017 Ver 1.4 What causes... Lack of bandwidth multiple flows are competing for a limited amount of bandwidth Too much delay -packets have to traverse many network devices and links that add up to the overall delay,and/or long queueing delay at routers (congestion) Variable delay sometimes there is a lot of other traffic which results in more delay Drops-packets have to be dropped when a link is congested (congestion) 2616009:Network Traffic Engineering 1:Overview Page.6
