A Concept of Defence Core Communication Infrastructure Supporting M-QoS

Abstract

This report is a continuation of DSTO's research effort in the area of Military oriented Quality of Service (M-QoS) and presents an architectural concept of network transmission, control and management that would offer M-QoS features over the Defence terrestrial/satellite Core environment communications infrastructure. The report first discusses in more detail the use of the transmission framework proposed in an earlier study by the same author, with particular emphasis put upon IP Differentiated Services - a vital technology to implement M-QoS. Then, a Military oriented Network Control and Management (M-NC&M) framework, based on policy-enabled networking and bandwidth brokerage that would facilitate. the implementation of M-QoS is described. The M-NC&M framework utilises results from the IETF's standardisation effort on policy framework and work from the Internet2 on bandwidth brokerage. Finally, a number of future research studies supporting the architectural concept are proposed in the report.
