Why implement service quality? Is it possible to ensure reliable service quality in multi-service IP networks? Which technologies help in making end-to-end quality of service a realistic business proposition?
In "Implementing Service Quality in IP Networks," Vilho Risnen answers these questions and more. The author discusses the business drivers for multi-service IP networks from various different angles. He defines service quality, explains how to estimate and measure the end-user experience and discusses different ways of conveying service quality requirements to the network.
Turning theory into practice, he uses Service Level Agreements (SLAs) as a framework for discussing inter-domain management and measurement of multi-service IP networks. Bandwidth broker assisted signalling is presented as an evolutionary step towards dynamic SLAs. Finally, a case study describing service quality support in an IP-based Radio Access Network (RAN) illustrates the techniques introduced in the book.
