Summary

Supplement 8 to the ITU-T E.800-series of Recommendations was originally prepared as a white paper by the Interconnection Working Group of the Communications Futures Program (CFP) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It presents an approach to the deployment of inter‑provider quality of service (QoS) to enable further consideration of the topic. This Supplement discusses key issues that service providers need to agree upon if inter-provider QoS is to be readily deployable.
