Functionality and Scalability Validation for an End to End QoS Management System

This paper presents the validation of an end-to-end QoS integrated management system in a multidomain test-bed environment. The integrated management system was designed and implemented in the framework of the ENTHRONE European project. This paper focuses on the network service management validation at both the Service Provide and Network Provider The Network Service Management is based the SLS management: in the core network the pSLS management is used to deal with users aggregated services, while cSLS management is used to deal with individual users services.
