Abstract:

This report is a continuation of DSTOs 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 terrestrialsatellite 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-NCM framework, based on policy-enabled networking and bandwidth brokerage that would facilitate. the implementation of M-QoS is described. The M-NCM framework utilises results from the IETFs 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.
