Abstract
We present a policy-based, agent-enhanced resource provisioning architecture, which facilitates flexible and quantitative end-to-end bandwidth reservation and management on a per-user, per-application or per-flow basis. Based on this architecture, various session level Service Level Agreement (SLA) negotiation schemes involving bandwidth allocation, service start time, guaranteed session duration can be introduced. The results show how these negotiation schemes can be utilised for the benefits of both network users and providers.
