Abstract

This paper focuses on policies for quality of service management in IP networks. More precisely, we address the application of policy-based management for network and service management systems, where other works mainly focus on the management system to router communication. In this environment, we propose a policy plane, which controls and manages the policies that have to be enforced using a QoS management system. Furthermore, we have implemented some service and network-level policies, which control a QoS management system instead of the network elements themselves.
