QUALITY OF SERVICE
faced by the IntServ model. In this model, flows are aggregated into
limited numbers of service classes. Each flow belongs to one of the
DiffServ classes of service.
ese two service models cannot be directly applied to MANETs
because of unique characteristics such as continuously varying network
topology, limited resource availability, and error-prone shared radio
channel. Any service model proposed should first decide upon what
types of services are feasible in such networks. A hybrid service model
for MANETs called FQMM is described below. is model is based
on these two QoS models.
