Abstract

The importance of providing quality of service (QoS) in communication networks for various types of real-time applications is widely accepted. QoS measurements in communication networks are required in many representations [1, 6]. Many of the most current multimedia applications use IP multicast for an efficient one-to-many transmission over the network. Thus, the employed measurement tools have to work in multicast environments as well [7]. Unfortunately, all the existing approaches for such measurements show perspicuous drawbacks. Especially the scalability of such tools is an issue. The focus of this work is to describe the a scalable environment for QoS measurements in IP multicast networks. The presented approach, named Multicast Quality Monitor (MQM, [4, 5]), is built on new concepts providing an optimum scalability. First, the so named MQM ping mechanism is a distributed and decentralized mechanism to allow the employment of high-scalable QoS measurements in the internet. Secondly, the so named MQM beacon mechanism focuses on the requirements of individual multimedia services. It was designed to reduce the impact on the network as much as possible by allowing a passive behavior using the multicast capabilities of the network by joining active multicast sessions and by analyzing the received traffic. Additionally, a central control instance is employed to prevent unnecessary and unnecessarily long lasting measurements.
