QOS Parameters:
1. Fixed/Variable rate
2. Tolerant of delay or loss
3. Delay Adaptive or Rate Adaptive
    Rate Adaptive: Change compression rate to fill available bandwidth
    Delay Adaptive: If falling behind, slow down tranmission rate
4. Multicast Aggregate Reservations
5. Closed or Open Loop
 
Applications having Quality of Service requirements
 
1. Surgery (Closed Loop, Not Adaptive, Fixed Rate)
2. Remote Aircraft Control (Tolerant of loss)
3. Air Traffic Control
4. Stock Quotes (Semi Tolerant, Non Adaptive, Fixed  Rate, Can have Reservations)
5. Internet Telephony (Semi Tolerant of Loss, Delay Adaptive but has limits of absolute delay)
6. Video Games (Like Telephony or Surgery)
7. Video Conferencing (like  Telephony)
8. Web Surfing (Tolerant of Loss, Rate Adaptive)
9. Broadcast (Tolerant of Delay)
 
What would be the Application which would possibly cause development or investment in this?
Possibilities are:
Video Conferencing
Broadcast
Video Games
 
RSVP Paper:
Any new architecture can be divided into 5 components:
1. Flow Spec:
Flow can be  Fixed Rate or Variable Rate. Issues are: If it is Variable Rate, how do we control the rate? One proposal is the Leaky Bucket method. We assume an average rate of flow r and an overflow buffer of size b. We could try the Statistical Rate method: We say that there is a probablity p that the combination of r and b are above a certain threshold. This method, however, has problems in Policing and Pricing.
 
2. Admission Control
Approaches:
a) Overprovisioning + Pricing: Pure Overprovisioning does not work because of TCP, since TCP is guaranteed to congest any network.
b) Strict Guarantees: This has scalability issues. Max guarantee offerred is limited by the point in the  network with the lowest BW, whether or not that is used in all traffic flows.
c) Weak Guarantees: Users can have higher priorities for certain traffic.
d) Measurement Based
