Abstract
Aggregation of flows is a natural consequence of the transition of flows across multiple network domains. The quality of service that is provided to an aggregated flow is dependent on a sufficient set of individual flow characteristics correctly transformed in to the aggregated flow characteristics. VPN routers at the boundary of the private networks encrypt information within the data packets of a flow and flow characteristics are no longer visible to the interface domain. This document describes the challenges faced by QoS mechanisms to provide quality of service to secure aggregated flows.
