Abstract:
Optimum theorems for combining QoS metrics
to reduce computation time in nodes (routers) is
proposed based on fundamental theorems on
QoS metrics. The proposed theorems unify
selection of metrics and provide the methods for
reducing overheads at the nodes due to
performance metrics. Specified metrics are used
to define QoS target, benefit, link and route
availability functions. It is shown that for certain
values of loss probability Lf the QoS target can
be approximated as linear and for higher losses
(about 10 times larger) the target is exponential.
