Application-based Quality of Service: For IP Video Conferencing

IP video communications and voice over IP (VoIP) applications differ from traditional data applications in that they are real-time applications, and as such, require higher bandwidth than traditional data applications. Real-time applications, especially video communications and VoIP applications, also require more stringent packet handling than non-real-time (traditional IPbased) applications. This, in turn, necessitates more network management resources to assure predictable traffic flow. Video/VoIP communications can require significant bandwidth and must receive service with minimal delay, jitter, and loss.
