On Improving the Agility and Quality of Adaptation in QoS-Aware Routing

Adaptation in QoS-aware routing is a process where an individual system (node, route, or network) responds to a change in its environment. This paper introduces a method to improve the agility and quality of adaptation in QoS-aware routing using real-time applications with varying data rates. A target zone is established based on application-specified QoS parameters. In addition, the success of previous adaptations is determined by observing trends in the end-to-end delay at different intervals.
