QoS Management Structure for Mobile IPv6
摘要
It has become very significant to enhance Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities of real-time data transmission in the Next Generation Internet. The Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) provides a signaling mechanism for end-to-end QoS. Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a fast label-based switching technique that can offer new QoS capabilities for large scale IP networks. Management of QoS in wireless networks is more complex than in wired networks because of frequent mobility of mobile users. In this paper, a novel scheme that improves the efficiency using a Mobile Agents Flat Structure (MAFS) based on the definition of new option called QoS Object Option (QOO) over MPLS is proposed. Mobile agents are required to manage QOO, resource reservation and other mobility related tasks on behalf of mobile hosts. This scheme is based on Mobile IPv6.
