The general QoS criteria listed in Section 
are very suitable to
describe the QoS aspects of multimedia-data transmission. However, this
generic set must be extended for transmission-specific features.
The network type-independent QoS parameter list includes:
- Connection establishment delay.
- Connection establishment failure probability.
- Sustained or peak throughput rate.
- Transit delay.
- Delay variation.
- Loss rate.
- Error rate.
- Security and Protection parameters.
- Priority.
Some of these parameters are negotiable between network systems and
applications, whereas others are fixed or statistical characteristics of a
network. Each networking technique might extend the above list by specific
parameters.
