Abstract

This paper presents an approach to support dynamic QoS(Quality of Service) requirements of largely emerging SIP(Session Initiation Protocol) multimedia applications in broadband access networks. The topology of QoS-enabled broadband access networks and its operational model to support SIP QoS are firstly suggested. And then the procedures to bind QoS-enabled SIP signaling into an IP QoS mechanism are presented. In this paper, DiffServ-based IP QoS architecture is deployed due to the complexity problem of the other IntServ architecture, and COPS(Common Open Policy Service) and COPS-PR protocol based signaling mechanisms are used to support dynamic DiffServ QoS, correspondent with dynamic SIP QoS. The broadband access network is assumed to support rapidly expanding Metro Ethernet 802.1 D/Q QoS, and how to translate SIP QoS parameters into IP DiffServ classes and DiffServ classes into 802.1 D/Q QoS parameters is also presented in this paper.

본 논문은 인터넷 멀티미디어 응용을 위한 유력한 세션 제어 프로토콜인 SIP(Session Initiation Protocol)의 동적인 QoS(Quality of Service) 요구 사항을 광대역 접속망(Broadband Access Network)에서 지원하는 방안에 대해 논한다. 먼저 SIP QoS를 지원하기 위한 광대역 접속망의 구조와 동작 모델을 제시하고, 동적 QoS를 지원하는 SIP 시그널링을 IP QoS 메카니즘으로 변환하는 과정을 제시한다. IntServ 구조의 복잡성 문제를 고려하여 본 논문은 DiffServ 기반의 IP QoS 구조를 채택하고, 동적 SIP QoS에 대응되는 동적 DiffServ 지원을 위해 COPS(Common Open Policy Service)와 COPS-PR 프로토콜 기반의 시그널링 메카니즘을 제안한다. 또한 본 논문은 현재 급속히 확산되고 있는 메트로 이더넷(Metro Ethernet) 기반의 802.1 D/Q QoS를 지원하는 광대역 접속망을 가정하고, SIP QoS 매개변수를 DiffServ의 트래픽 등급으로 변환하는 방안, 그리고 DiffServ의 트래픽 등급을 802.1 D/Q 메트로 이더넷에서 지원하는 방안을 제시한다.
