QoS Session 1: Building a DiffServ Testbed for Internet2

To meet the QoS needs of our member institutions and to enable tomorrow’s advanced networked applications, Internet2 has recommended testbed experimentation with the absolute services envisioned under the evolving Differentiated Services (DiffServ) architectural framework.  Internet2 is working to unite various efforts to deploy DiffServ through its QoSBone effort.  This effort will focus primarily on:

• fostering interoperability among participant clouds
• encouraging collective problem solving
• developing tools and techniques to push the technology forward.
This session will introduce the goals and scope of the QoSBone and will provide a forum for discussion. A panel of members from the Internet2 QoS working group will be available to answer questions.
