AQUILA Motivation n DiffServ approach as most promising solution for QoS in the Internet n Two disadvantages:

• No QoS guarantees à AQUILA approach • Gap between QoS in the network and the applications à this talk n Need for QoS middleware to access the AQUILA‘s QoS network n Support of different applications types:

• Legacy (non QoS-aware) apps • Newly developed applications and Internet services

AQUILA Architecture n End-user Application Toolkit (EAT) as QoS middleware between • Applications & end-users and • AQUILA Resource Control Layer (RCL) n Requirements from the applications: • Several interfaces towards applications & users • Support of automatic and manual reservations • Different levels of QoS abstraction n Requirements from the RCL: • CORBA interface to Admission Control Agent • Use of network services • Technical requirements concerning reservations etc. 5

AQUILA Support of Application Development n EAT API provides interfaces & functions for: • User authentication • Service retrieval • Application Profile retrieval • Reservation request & release – at different levels of QoS abstraction – uni-, bi-directional, groups • Accounting information n CORBA-based API n Use of design patterns: composite, abstract factory

AQUILA QoS Portal – Manual Support n Web -based GUI to access the EAT and to use AQUILA QoS 1) 2) 3) or 3)

Login Choose reservation level Do an advanced reservation (mainly for AQUILA people)

Do a regular reservation a) Choose a predefined application (profile) b) Choose a predefined QoS option for each service component App utilisation phase 4) Release the reservation 5) Logout

AQUILA Application Profiles (1) n Syntax to describe applications‘ QoS characteristics n Supports conversation between different levels:

• Network level à AQUILA reservation request • Application level à Implementation issues (service components) • End-user level à QoS Portal n One Application Profile for each app n Several Service Component Profiles

• Audio, Video, Data, etc. n XML profile repository for EAT

Falk Kemmel, Art-QoS, 24-25/03/2003

AQUILA Converter n Automatic conversation between Application Profile levels: 1) Preparation of QoS options • Considering the options defined in the Service Component Profile • Considering the end-user‘s SLAs (subscribed network services) 2) Calculation of reservation parameters • Considering the chosen QoS option

AQUILA Protocol Gateways – Automatic Support n Interception/Sniffing of signalling messages to

• Detect IP addresses and dynamically negotiated port numbers • Analyse multimedia content concerning CODECs n Interworking with EAT management

• Initiation of reservation requests without user involvement à automatic reservation (SIP Proxy)

• Completion of former established manual reservations à half-automatic reservation (H.323 Proxy)

n Extensible Proxy Framework

• Controlled by a Proxy Manager 18

AQUILA Conclusions & Outlook (1) n EAT in general • Distributed architecture • Three main interfaces for applications: 1. API • Application development • Specific for AQUILA • Concepts for reuse: reservation groups, etc. 2. QoS Portal • On top of the API • Existing prototype for QoS reservations for AQUILA • Concept for Complex Internet Services like Mediazine 23

Falk Kemmel, Art-QoS, 24-25/03/2003

AQUILA Conclusions & Outlook (2) 3. Proxies • Existing automatic proxy for SIP, half-automatic for H.323 • Idea: new automatic proxies for H.323, RSVP based on the framework • Open: integration of application/codec profiles n Application Profiles & Converter • Used by the API, Portal • Existing profiles for NetMeeting, RealSystem, OIDS Game • New profiles on the base on templates for CODECs
