This project layouts a framework for understanding QOS mapping at various level of the information transport protocol stack. The task of guaranteeing end-to-end QOS requires the understanding of the various level of QOS of the transport protocol stack. For example, switches are concerned only with per-hop, per-class cell-level QOS while applications with multimedia streams are concerned with end-to-end, per connection frame-level QOS. It is the end-to-end QOS, rather than the per-hop QOS, that is perceived and important to the users. However, network operators use the later to guarantee QOS to their users. Each of these entities deal with different statistical quantities that have to be mapped into each other.

The objective of the Data Grid Project project is to enable next generation scientific exploration which requires intensive computation and analysis of shared large-scale databases, from hundreds of TeraBytes to PetaBytes, across widely distributed scientific communities. This sharing is made complicated by the distributed nature of the resources to be used, the distributed nature of the communities, the size of the databases and the limited network bandwidth available. To address these problems it is being proposed to build on emerging computational Grid technologies. Site areas include: home page; work packages; architecture task force; technical board; presentations; reports & papers; trip reports; other grid projects; background;meetings; press releases; I&R Forum; workshops; proposal; grid conferences; comments & suggestions; background information; CERN; Information Technology Division;
