The combination of VPNs and DiffServ based QoS appeared to be a promising approach for corporation communication infrastructure. However, the management of QoS enabled VPN could be time consuming and error-prone. This project aimed to present a framework for the web-based management approach regarding the related problems, specifically with the combination of FreeS/WAN IPSec and DiffServ on Linux routers. Various related issues have been discussed and analysed. The DiffServ package in Linux platform has been upgraded to kernel version of 2.2.19 and configuration scripts have been implemented in order to establish QoS-VPN in provider environments.
