Abstract
The Integrated Services (Intserv) architecture provides a means for
the delivery of end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) to applications
over heterogeneous networks. To support this end-to-end model, the
Intserv architecture must be supported over a wide variety of
different types of network elements. In this context, a network that
supports Differentiated Services (Diffserv) may be viewed as a
network element in the total end-to-end path. This document
describes a framework by which Integrated Services may be supported
over Diffserv networks.
