Summary
Introduction (1)
Providing end-to-end Quality of Service in IP
networks still remains a challenging task:


Different types of traffic and QoS objectives: VoIP, VTC,
Multimedia Streaming, high throughput data,..
Different network technologies: LAN, WLAN, xDSL, UMTS, IP
core, etc.
Recognised approaches:


single domain network: DiffServ, IntServ, MPLS – currently deployed
in GENAT, Q-BONE, AQUILA, ...
multi-domain network:
 Concept of end-to-end classes of service (e2e CoS) – ITU-T,
IETF, IST EuQoS (www.euqos.org)
 Path computation architecture (PCE IETF)
 „user probing” approach
 ...
e2e CoSs concept (1)
The end-to-end Classes of Service :
represents a specific set of traffic requiring from network similar
QoS guaranties, e.g. VoIP, multimedia, guaranteed throughput, ...
are offered to the users as „Globally Well Known” services
are mapped into local CoSs offered inside particular domains and
on inter-domain links

e2e CoSs concept (2)
The QoS level offered by e2e CoSs depends on:


QoS level offered by particular domains and interdomain links
The routing between source and destination
However, BGP-4 establishes paths based on „AS
path length” that may be not suitable
Solution: to enhance BGP-4 protocol with QoS
features => EQ-BGP (Enhanced QoS Border
Gateway Protocol)
EQ-BGP protocol (1)
Objective:
to fix inter-domain routing paths that for particular e2e
CoS offer the most attractive QoS level, e.g. lowest
delay, jitter, losses,...

EQ-BGP protocol (2)
New entities of EQ-BGP:
New QOS_NLRI attribute of update messages,
that carries information about e2e CoSs and values of
QoS parameters, e.g. delay, jitter, losses, offered on a
given AS path
QoS aware decision algorithm, that allows to
select paths taking into account QoS objectives of
e2e CoS

Performance of EQ-BGP (1)
Objective:
to analyse the impact of new EQ-BGP entities
on network convergence
Methodology:
We compare the performance of EQ-BGP with
standard BGP-4 protocol based on convergence
metrics:


Network convergence time – time elapsing from the
occurrence of stressing event till the end of processing
the last update message
Number of update messages that need to be exchanged
NS2 is used for simulation experiments
Performance of EQ-BGP (2)
Assumptions:
Basic network stressing events:


Advertisement of a new route
Withdrawal of the existing one
Each AS is represented by a single router
Network topologies:



Full mesh
Ring
Representative for the Internet
(B.Premore, SSFnet)
Different number of ASs
A single e2e CoS targeted for
assurance „mean delay”

tree strategies for assigning QoS
Representative Internet topology B.Premore, SSFnet
Performance of EQ-BGP (3)
Convergence time after advertisement of new route:
- randomly chosen AS advertises route
- 100 simulation runs

and Internet topologies

Summary
The approach for providing e2e QoS in multi-domain
network based on e2e CoSs was investigated
The Enhanced QoS BGP protocol (EQ-BGP) was
proposed for supporting e2e CoS concept
Obtained preliminary simulation results confirm that:


EQ-BGP gives stable routing
Network convergence is similar to BGP-4
Further work:



Evaluation of other stressing events, like link or node failure,
route flapping
Evaluation of scalability in large networks
Evaluation in test-bed
