Application-Driven GQOS Components

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

GQOS Service Provider (GQOS SP)

The GQOS Service Provider facilitates GQOS and invokes other GQOS components.

Traffic Control Modules

Facilitators of traffic control. Includes the Packet Classifier, the Packet Scheduler, and the Packet Shaper.

Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)

Invoked by the GQOS SP, and the carrier of reserve requests across the entire network, with a functional interface for each QOS-enabled network device 'hop' across the network. Though important to overall GQOS technology, and to QOS in general, certain GQOS faculties do not require RSVP to operate, which means that Quality of Service can be achieved without RSVP signaling.

GQOS API

Programmatic interface to the GQOS SP.

Traffic Control API (TCAPI)
