Toward feasibility and scalability of session initiation and dynamic QoS provisioning in policy-enabled networks
Résumé
In this paper we implement and evaluate a new solution for the multimedia session setup with resource allocation in policy-enabled networks that we developed in [1]. Our proposal is based on the use of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) in the framework of Policy-Based Management (PBM)1. We specifically evaluate the feasibility and the scalability of such solution in a real environment through experimentation on a test-bed. The latter integrates all the components from session initiation to QoS policy enforcement into network elements. Our results demonstrate both of the relevance and the efficiency of such solution
