Inter-domain QoS using BGP signalling

Current QoS support in the Internet

The current “Best Effort” packet transport in IP networks is currently being augmented by locally applied traffic separation with prioritized forwarding together with costly multi-parameter ingress classification.
Such “quality islands” exist independently, peer with BE traffic, run uncoordinated QoS concepts and might not even be known globally.
Complex approaches exist, which aim for guaranteed (parameterized) QoS support for future Inter-domain peerings.
Much simpler approaches, which aim for primitive traffic separation without quality guarantees are also available.

The pages on www.BGP-QoS.org will provide a public discussion ground and ressource collection. The Forum with polls on various Inter-domain QoS topics allows for anonymous opinion polls on currently hot topics. No company instrinsics need to be disclosed for participating in such votes.
Operators, Vendors and Service providers can also request anonymous logins (info@bgp-qos.org) in order to express their views and guide the discussions without violating non-disclosure agreements.
  • Inter-domain QoS vs. Net Neutrality
    Network neutrality (= net neutrality, Internet neutrality or simply NN) could possibly conflict with Inter-domain QoS. This section of the forum shall be used to explore limitations and possible solutions to "QoS augmented network neutrality".
  • Polls on Inter-domain QoS Requirements
    This section of the forum hosts polls on several options for inter-domain QoS requirements. It is a working platform for requirement selection.
  • Polls on Inter-domain QoS Signalling concepts
    This section of the forum hosts polls on several options for inter-domain QoS signalling concepts. It is a working platform for concept selection.
  • IETF drafts on Inter-domain QoS
    This forum section lists all previous Internet-Drafts on Inter-domain QoS and gives a short summary to each of them.
  • Non-IETF work on Inter-domain QoS
    This forum section lists all known activities on Inter-domain QoS, which are available outside the IETF. This includes work of SDOs, funded projects and others.
