Abstract

This paper presents an evaluation of the quality of Service Signalling Layer Protocol (QoS-NSLP) of the NSIS (next steps in signalling) protocol suite. The QoS-NSLP in combination with the NSIS Transport Layer Protocol (NTLP) is proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an alternative to the Resource reSerVation Protocol (RSVP). We describe our implementations of the software architecture, both on a network simulator and on a Linux implementation. Both implementations are used in a complimentary manner to illustrate the performance of the QoS-NSLP protocol. The results show the performance of QoS-NSLP with respect to resource consumption, packet processing time, session set up time, refresh interval and protocol overhead. Furthermore, we analyse the protocol performance during route change scenarios.
