Welcome to IST TEQUILA

Traffic Engineering for Quality of Service in the Internet, at Large Scale

The objective of the TEQUILA project is to study, specify, implement and validate a set of service definition and traffic engineering tools to obtain quantitative end-to-end Quality of Service guarantees through careful planning, dimensioning and dynamic control of scaleable and simple qualitative traffic management techniques within the Internet (i.e. diffserv).

The following technical areas will be addressed:

Specification of static and dynamic, intra- and inter-domain SLSs to support both fixed and nomadic users.
Protocols and mechanisms for negotiating, monitoring and enforcing SLSs.
Intra- and inter-domain traffic engineering schemes to ensure that the network can cope with the contracted SLSs - within domains, and in the Internet at large.

All specified functionality will be validated through simulation, prototype development and network experiments.
