Characterizing Qos Requirements: Rab Nawaz Jadoon

The document discusses characterizing quality of service (QoS) requirements for network traffic. It notes that some applications like voice and video are sensitive to bandwidth availability and packet loss, while others can still function with less bandwidth. The document provides a checklist for determining if all steps have been completed to characterize network traffic, including identifying sources and flows, estimating bandwidth needs, and categorizing applications' QoS requirements.

Characterizing Traffic behaviour
 Bandwidth requirement for an application is not
sufficient.
 Requirement  flexible or inflexible?
 Some applications continue to work (although slowly)
when bandwidth is not sufficient.
 Other applications, such as voice and video
applications, are rendered useless if a certain level of
bandwidth is not available.
 In addition, if you have a mix of flexible and inflexible
applications on a network, you need to determine if it is
practical to borrow bandwidth from the flexible application
to keep the inflexible application working.

Important Points

 Voice is also inflexible with regard to delay.


 Voice is also sensitive to packet loss, which
results in voice clipping and skips.
 Without proper network wide QoS
configuration, loss can occur because of
congested links and poor packet buffer and
queue management on routers.

Analyzing QoS

 Analyzing QoS requirements using


 ATM and
 Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) techniques.

 Guys the above concepts are

Network traffic checklist

 You can use the following Network Traffic


checklist to determine if you have completed all
the steps for characterizing network traffic:
 I have identified major traffic sources and stores and
documented traffic flow between them.
 I have categorized the traffic flow for each
application as being terminal/host, client/server,
peer-to-peer, server/server, or distributed
computing.
 I have estimated the bandwidth requirements for
each application

Network traffic checklist
 I have estimated the bandwidth requirements for
routing protocols.
 I have characterized network traffic in terms of
broadcast/multicast rates, efficiency, frame sizes,
windowing and flow control, and error-recovery
mechanisms.
 I have categorized the QoS requirements of each
application
