Abstract

This chapter deals with one of the most important aspects of VoIP communication: Quality of Service (QoS) maintenance. In this regard, the various QoS categories, metrics, and policies are defined and discussed with respect to VoIP applications. QoS implementation policies are introduced based on a QoS framework. The fundamental difference with QoE is also highlighted. Finally, the current approach of problem solving in regard to QoS management is demonstrated.
