In order to support multimedia applications, a variety of QoS parameters must be supported for the respective data flows. These might include parameters such as delay, delay variation, bandwidth, jitter, packet loss etc., on the network level. Parameters can be defined on call (blocking probabilities, set-up latencies etc.) and user level (e.g., mean opinion scores) as well. The parameters must be well defined and appropriate measurement techniques are required to test whether the parameters are met by the selected network services. In particular, many approaches for passive and active measurements have been developed.
