Autonomic QoS management and supervision system for Home Networks

Broadband access to the Internet at home was the first step in the emergence of so called Home Networks. In a close future, the number of appliance connected will rise and the network will become the home backbone. This lead us to a mesh architecture, in which routing will be mandatory. This paper introduces a complete system to, first, pilot the forwarding in order to ensure a proper quality of experience; and secondly to monitor and diagnosis the network from the ISP-network in order to reduce OPEX. The system is based on the knowledge plane composed of agents embedded on devices.
