The Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of uniquely identifiable emb
edded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure.
Quality of service (QoS) is the overall performance of a telephony or computer n
etwork, particularly the performance seen by the users of the network.
A wireless sensor network (WSN) of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to m
onitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, pressur
e, etc. and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a main locat
ion.
Quality of Service (QoS) for networks is an industry-wide set of standards and m
echanisms for ensuring high-quality performance for critical applications. By us
ing QoS mechanisms, network administrators can use existing resources efficientl
y and ensure the required level of service without reactively expanding or overprovisioning their networks.
Traditionally, the concept of quality in networks meant that all network traffic
was treated equally. The result was that all network traffic received the netwo
rk s best effort, with no guarantees for reliability, delay, variation in delay, o
r other performance characteristics. With best-effort delivery service, however,
a single bandwidth-intensive application can result in poor or unacceptable per
formance for all applications. The QoS concept of quality is one in which the re
quirements of some applications and users are more critical than others, which m
eans that some traffic needs preferential treatment.
QoS Concepts
The goal of QoS is to provide preferential delivery service for the applications
that need it by ensuring sufficient bandwidth, controlling latency and jitter,
and reducing data loss. The following table describes these network characterist
ics.
Network Characteristics Managed by QoS
Network Characteristic Description
Bandwidth
The rate at which traffic is carried by the network.
Latency
The delay in data transmission from source to destination.
Jitter
The variation in latency.
Reliability
The percentage of packets discarded by a router.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) defines two major models for QoS on I
P-based networks: Integrated Services (Intserv) and Differentiated Services (Dif
fserv). These models encompass several categories of mechanisms that provide pre
ferential treatment to specified traffic. The following table describes the thre
e general categories of QoS mechanisms.
Note
Different versions of Windows support different combinations of these mechanisms
. Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 do not support resource reservation.

Admission control
Determine which applications and users are entitled to network resources. These
mechanisms specify how, when, and by whom network resources on a network segment
