An Innovative QoS Paradigm Based on Cognitive In-network Management of Resources for a Future Unified Network Architecture: I-NAME QoS Model

The goal of this paper is to present an innovative QoS solution of managing resources by knowing the service requests and the network context in a unified network architecture. Considering the nowadays technical solutions and the holistic vision of the future network of information, this solution is proposing a cognitive QoS model of self-managing resources by using the network virtualization concept in conjunction with the in-network management concept. Thus, the main goal of the paper is to solve resource management problem inside a unified network architecture remodeled by the actual trends in the field – virtualization and in-network management – by validating while evaluating the I-NAME QoS proposed model.
