Abstract

MESCAL aims to propose and validate scalable, incremental solutions that enable the flexible deployment and delivery of inter-domain Quality of Service (QoS) across the Internet.

This involves developing: templates, protocols and algorithms for establishing Service Level Specifications (SLS) between Internet Service Providers (ISP) and their customers, including their peers; scalable solutions for inter-domain Traffic Engineering (TE) based on enhancements to the existing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing protocol and associated route selection logic.

MESCAL will consider both unicast- and multicast-based services and ensure that the proposed solutions are applicable to both IPv4 and IPv6.
