Network resource management for the services with variable QoS requirements

A development of recent complex and demanding applications continuously increases the requirements on a quality of the service, provided by communication's infrastructure. The variable QoS requirements could become from variable demands of an user and an application and from the variable network characteristics, respectively. It is very possible that the same complex applications and the services will be executed by different level of quality that would satisfy every single user. A proper relation between the quality and the cost of the service will result in adequate user satisfaction. This paper introduces an experimental laboratory QoS model which efficiently manages the variable QoS requirements, caused by the user or by the network, respectively. A few laboratory QoS classes were proposed together with the simple mechanisms necessary to achieve desired QoS. The measurements confirm the efficient management of the network resources, by different QoS requirements.
