Abstract
Bandwidth broker (BB), resource manager of differentiated services domain cannot provide per domain behavior (PDB) attribute information to customers and neighboring domains at the time of service level agreement (SLA) negotiation. Extending BB’s functionality to calculate PDB attributes can help it to negotiate SLAs dynamically and efficiently. Using current measurements or historic data about PDB attributes, bandwidth broker can perform off-line analysis to evaluate the range of quality of service (QoS) parameters that its domain can offer. Using these values BB can perform optimal capacity planning of the links and provide better QoS guarantees
