摘要: In the future Internet, multi-network services will follow a new paradigm in which intelligence of network control is gradually moved to edge network. This impacts both objective Quality Service (QoS) end-to-end connection as well subjective Experience (QoE) perceived by end user. Skype already offers such Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephony service today. Due its ease use and high sound quality, it becomes increasingly popular wired Internet. UMTS operators promise offer large data rates should suffice support VoIP calls mobile environment. However, success those applications strongly depends on corresponding QoE. this work, we analyze theoretically achievable actually achieved quality IP-based voice using Skype. done performing measurements real testbed The latter used emulate rate mechanisms changing system conditions networks. results show how far over able keep pace with existing systems reacts different characteristics. investigated performance measures comprise QoE terms MOS value QoS network-based factors like throughput, packet interarrival times, or loss.
