An Integrated Framework for Implementing Quality of Network Concepts

This paper presents an integrated framework for describing and implementing quality of network (QoN) concepts. It focuses on identifying a systems engineering framework for better understanding how to specify and implement QoN concepts. We demonstrate, by means of several examples, that the quality of service interfaces between the end user and the underlying network are very important. Finally, we provide insights as to future development efforts needed to realize the goal of high quality networks.
