Policy-Based Quality of Service and Security Management for Multimedia Services on IP Networks in the RTIPA Project

This paper summarizes the research work that has been conducted in the context of the RTIPA project on policy-based QoS (Quality of Service) and security management for distributed multimedia services. It presents an architecture allowing the derivation of policies from the service level down to the network level. It is a step towards an end-to-end QoS and security management for distributed multimedia services running on the new generation of IP networks.
