This document presents a framework for user-centric Quality of
Service (QoS) management in heterogeneous Internet environments
(considering fixed, mobile and broadcast networks).
The framework is based on dynamic business level QoS policy
specification by different actors (such as users, operators
and administrators), as well as hierarchical policy refinement
and translation, supporting the automated configuration of QoS
mechanisms at heterogeneous network and transport entities.
The hierarchical policy approach involves abstractions and mapping
of policies described at business, unified, operational and
configuration level considering networks with different capabilities
and QoS requirements of different actors.
The policy specification is dependent on the Service
Level Agreements (SLAs) of the particular actors.
This allows controlled and restricted usage of the network
resources by the actors according to the actor dependencies and
corresponding SLA rules.
The policy management framework includes components for dynamic
actor-based QoS policy specification, policy consistency check
and dependency analysis regarding SLAs, automated policy
provisioning and configuration at heterogeneous transport and
network entities, policy monitoring and performance
assessment, as well as automated adaptation of QoS mechanisms at
operational level.
Policy enforcement combined with policy monitoring and performance
assessment is considered, as well as automated adaptation of
policy parameters (e.g. operational policies) based on policy
performance analysis.
Interactions of components for policy specification and automated
provisioning are based on policy repository storing the unified
(intermediate) policy representations describing policy parameters,
conditions and actions.
