Supporting QoS over IPv6 wireless networks with IntServ6

In this paper we introduce a new approach to support QoS on wireless networks. It uses a new solution for QoS support on IPv6 networks named IntServ6 and introduce some extensions to bring resource reservations mobility. Our solution works over hierarchical mobile IPv6 networks. IntServ6 takes advantage of the IPv6 header flow label field to improve the router performance. It also improves the current standard solution for the resource reservation within tunnels for integrated services networks. Evaluation results show that this approach has a better router performance respect to the traditional integrated services solutions for mobile networks
