Abstract :
There is much attention given today to the provisioning of service quality in the Internet. In this position paper we advocate the use of an architecture that improves the integrated-services architecture and allows it to be brought into a differentiated-services context. The main idea in our work is to move functionality and per-session state from the network nodes out to the hosts. Such decentralization improves scalability and simplifies QoS for multicast sessions
