| Quality of Servis (QoS) is a key concept in
today\'s high speed communication networks. New applications,
such as distributed multimedia systems, need powerful constructs
to express their performance and quality needs. The existing set
of quality of service parameters is not suitable for this
purpose. On the other hand, application programmers want
easy-to-use QoS parameters to simplify their work and human users
expect meaningful QoS parameters to express their needs. We
describe the development path for a new view on quality of
service followed since the beginning of the nineties and present
an overall QoS architecture. Then, we concentrate on the
application layer and reflect on translation of QoS parameters
from the application\'s point of view into transport and
operating system QoS parameters. Finally, we report on the
implementation of these new concepts in XMovie, an existing
multimedia system, and specify some of the mappings of
application specific QoS parameters to transport QoS parameters
in detail. |
