The troubled journey of QoS: From ATM to content networking, edge-computing and distributed internet governance

Abstract: Network Quality of Service (QoS) and the associated user Quality of Experience (QoE) have always been the networking "holy grail" and have been sought after through various different approaches and networking technologies over the last decades. Despite substantial amounts of effort invested in the area, there has been very little actual deployment of mechanisms to guarantee QoS in the Internet. As a result, the Internet is largely operating on a "best effort" basis in terms of QoS. Here, we attempt a historica… Show more

“…IoT architectures that are based on only cloud computing paradigm can introduce too much latency in application responses, as well as heavier loads on network traffic and servers. 5,33 By bringing the computation and storage resources closer to the network edge, and enabling decentralized processing, the latency of responses reaching the end-users as well as the traffic loads can be alleviated. This is the main idea behind introducing Fog computing paradigm, which aims to enable more efficient and cost-effective solutions for IoT applications.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] One of the ideas behind the Edge/Fog computing paradigm is to improve the QoS, as well as the quality of experience (QoE), for the core Internet infrastructure by decentralizing and bringing the computation closer to the edge in order to reduce the response delay to end-users, relieve the traffic in the network core, and reduce server loads. 5 Hence, designing efficient Edge/Fog computing-based QoS-aware solutions for IoT applications will be crucial for the success of the IoT paradigm.…”

“…SLA conformance in the context of IoT can be a challenging task [6]. That is, many IoT scenarios cannot bear compromising service quality; and therefore, it is essential to rigorously maintain a high degree of SLA compliance by employing an effective monitoring and enforcement mechanism.…”

“…In current practice, cloud providers are commonly assumed for holding the responsibility for typical SLA lifecycle management, such as SLA initiation, service monitoring, and contract enforcement [5]. However, when considering several important factors, such as deliberate corruption, misconduct, opacity, conflict of interest, single point of failure, and incompetent awareness of end-to-end IoT ecosystem requirements, we argue that no single party should solely control SLA lifecycle management [6].…”
