Abstract

Researchers are trying to find viable means to support the quality of services for fixed IP users for quite some time. This is a difficult task and even up until today there is no universally accepted mechanism to assure the quality of an operational service from the one end to the other. As years were passing, the need of IP users to keep their network connectivity while on the move, introduced a family of mobility management protocols. However, it was soon noted that these mobility management protocols were inter-working rather inefficiently with the protocols for the quality of services’ support. Thus, new protocols are under design to tackle this issue. However, even with these new protocols there are important issues left unchallenged. This chapter provides all the necessary information for this research area and its current status.
