Overview and Scope

This service definition is compliant with the UPnP Device Architecture version 1.0.

This service type enables modeling of the 'QosPolicyHolder' function capabilities. The functionality for the QosPolicyHolder Service can be implemented by any device on the network. The QosPolicyHolder Service is responsible for providing the traffic policy values for any given traffic stream as requested by an entity that manages the network traffic, typically a QoS Manager. The traffic policy values are determined by applying the policy rules, which are configured for the network, to the requested traffic information.

A QosPolicyHolder is a dual-role entity that exposes a QosPolicyHolder Service to the Control Point (mainly the QoS Manager) while acting as a Control Point for the QosDevice Services running on the network. This document describes the components of the QosPolicyHolder Service and the QoS Policy Holder. The QoS Policy Holder provides the Control Point functionality that discovers and controls QosDevice Services, mainly for the propagation and synchronization of the preferred QosPolicyHolder Service information. Additional information concerning the QoS Policy Holder may be found in:
