scope:

Uses the concepts and terminology of the Quality of Service Framework, ITU-T Rec. X.641 ISO/IEC 13236. It is intended to support those designing, testing and specifying Information Technology (IT) systems, data communications services and protocols, those defining QoS management functions and QoS mechanisms for particular data environments and technologies, and those engaged in other QoS-related activities such as system testing, by providing a source of reference material on QoS. To do this, it brings together references to methods and mechanisms from a variety of sources, and in some cases documents them in a style which will permit their use in many data different environments.
