Scalable QoS approach in a core internet network

QoS solutions for Core Internet Networks require that we pay special attention to scalability, as they deal with a lot of flows and demand many resources. In this paper, integrated solutions from the physical layer (SDH/SONET and DTM) to the IP layer (IntServ and DiffServ) are analysed and proposed, concentrating not only on scalability, but also on QoS guarantees.
