Next Generation Networks Initiative (NGNi)

Abstract

The European Next Generation Networks Initiative analyzed standards as well as identified technology, market trends and forecasts in the area of network technology for next-generation wired and wireless networks. The Quality-of-Service subgroup consisting of partners from BITS Pilani (India), University of Haute-Alsace (France), UPM Madrid, Versaware (Spain), and University of Bern investigated QoS technologies that are currently being used and tested in Internet networks and that might be useful for next generation networks. The project also developed a roadmap for emerging QoS technologies in next generation networks. Based on that a vision has been defined about the most likely future technical scenarios with respect to QoS in next generation networks.
