Abstract

   The Integrated Services (Intserv) architecture provides a means for
   the delivery of end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) to applications
   over heterogeneous networks.  To support this end-to-end model, the
   Intserv architecture must be supported over a wide variety of
   different types of network elements.  In this context, a network that
   supports Differentiated Services (Diffserv) may be viewed as a
   network element in the total end-to-end path.  This document
   describes a framework by which Integrated Services may be supported
   over Diffserv networks.
