Popis: Voice over IP (VoIP) has received much attention in recent years with the promise of lower costs, as well as new revenue-generating services. Cost and services advantages of carrying voice over IP compared to over the current circuit network are made possible by a common high-capacity packet infrastructure for voice, data, and multimedia services. An important requirement of such a packet infrastructure is the ability to provide public-switched telephone network (PSTN) grade quality without excessive over-provisioning. In this paper, we describe an approach to offer AbsoluteQoS™ to voice and other demanding applications over a general-purpose packet network. AbsoluteQoS is defined as the ability to provide an engineered bound on call-blocking and quantitative QoS guarantee that calls-in-progress will receive. The proposed strategy is based on key innovations in architectures and protocols, as well as business models of PSTN and packet networks. © 2003 Lucent Technologies Inc.
