Service Negotiation Model for Response Time in Distributed Networks

keywords: Response time, specifying policies, negotiation
The important thing of QoS is that response time of service is transparently suggested to resource management system and network users. This helps to schedule jobs or guarantee the service level agreement. This paper proposes to specify a negotiation policy for response time of distributed network using network latency function. To monitor and manage service response time in distributed network, we identified the relationships between network/application performance and QoS parameters. We also provided the statistical analysis on mapping user level response time to application and network level parameters. To show the validation of the network latency function, we used the NS-2 network simulator and showed the efficiency of that function. Finally we suggested the negotiation of policy for response time of requested service.
