Full title and description

ISO/IEC 29341-11-11:2008 — Information technology — UPnP Device Architecture — Part 11-11: Quality of Service Device Control Protocol - Level 2 - Quality of Service Manager Service. This part defines the QoS Manager service and related control-point interactions for discovering, requesting, updating and releasing Quality of Service on networked devices within the UPnP device architecture.

Abstract

Defines modelling of QoS Manager function capabilities. The QoS Manager function combines a QoS Manager service and control-point functionality to discover and control Quality of Service Device and Quality of Service Policy Holder services on the network, responsible for requesting, updating, releasing and managing QoS for traffic streams. The part is part of the ISO/IEC 29341 series that specifies a peer-to-peer device architecture for appliances, wireless devices and PCs in ad-hoc or unmanaged networks.

Scope

Specifies the Level 2 Quality of Service Manager Service within the UPnP Device Control Protocol family. It covers the service model, actions and state variables required for a control point to manage QoS Devices and QoS Policy Holders on the network, enabling request, update and release operations for network-assigned QoS to traffic streams. It is intended for devices and control points implementing UPnP QoS functionality.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the Quality of Service Manager Service: actions, state variables and service description.
• Control-point and device interactions for discovery and management of QoS Device and QoS Policy Holder services.
• Procedures for requesting, updating and releasing QoS allocations for traffic streams.
• Level 2 (enhanced) protocol specifics within the UPnP/29341 architecture.
• Conformance expectations for implementers building QoS-capable UPnP devices and control points.

Typical use and users

Implemented by device manufacturers, firmware and software developers, network equipment vendors and systems integrators who need UPnP-based QoS management in consumer, small-business and managed public network environments. Typical uses include home gateways, media streaming devices, multimedia appliances and any UPnP control points that coordinate QoS across devices.

Related standards

This part is one element of the ISO/IEC 29341 series (UPnP Device Architecture). Closely related parts include other Quality of Service parts (for example 11-10 Quality of Service Device Service and 11-12 Quality of Service Policy Holder Service) and the Level 1/Level 3 QoS parts in the same series; many other 29341 parts specify AV, imaging, gateway, lighting, security and other device classes.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is ISO/IEC 29341-11-11:2008, the UPnP Device Architecture part that defines the Level 2 Quality of Service Manager Service used to manage QoS-capable devices and policy holders on a UPnP network.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the service model, actions and state variables for the QoS Manager service and the control-point interactions required to request, update and release QoS assignments for traffic streams in a UPnP environment.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Device and firmware manufacturers, application and control-point developers, network equipment vendors and integrators building UPnP-capable products that need to manage network QoS for multimedia or time-sensitive traffic.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: According to the ISO catalogue entry, the publication is Edition 1 (2008) and the record shows the standard was last reviewed and confirmed (remains current). ISO indicates standards are subject to periodic (typically five-year) review; consult the ISO catalogue for the latest administrative status if you require absolute currency confirmation.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO/IEC 29341 series that standardizes the UPnP Device Architecture; many related parts define other device classes, services and protocol levels within the same family.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: UPnP, Quality of Service, QoS Manager, QoS Policy Holder, device control protocol, Level 2, ISO/IEC 29341.
