[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
To facilitate explanation, the GQOS documentation divides the GQOS components into the following three categories:
Note This segmentation is purely for convenience and clarity's sake: Though individual components from among the three categories can, in certain situations, function independently of each other to provide certain subsets of QOS functionality, GQOS overall is an integrated technology. For more information on how the documentation is organized, see GQOS Documentation Structure.
This is the approach taken with all GQOS components, with one exception: RSVP. Though the bulk of RSVP will be discussed within the Application-Driven GQOS Components category, elements which have effects elsewhere (namely in the network, and for facilitation of policy checking) will be included in their respective sections.
