The major results from IPNQSIS will be:

• The analysis of the relation between QoS and QoE parameters and how they can be used to supervise the network so that strategies or policies can be developed to maintain the expected quality
• The introduction of improved traffic measurement software and hardware probes that operate at different levels, ranging from the network core to the end-user applications.
• The creation of routing repositories that can benefit further simulations and data traffic analysis to implement strategies that maintain the required quality.
• The definition of an intelligent network management system that is fed from measurements obtained by traffic monitoring and routing repositories data.
• The provision of traffic modelling studies of IPTV and video services

All these developed elements (design, software and hardware) will contribute to build up network control prototypes that will serve as a network monitoring proof-of-concept rather than a complete network operation system due to the limited resources and the obvious restrictions to control real commercial networks. The prototypes will either just alert about QoE degradation and will propose users restrictions to the implied service or changes in the operational mode to the service provider as a “warning”, or execute simple control tasks, such as enabling access control policies, or implementing traffic differentiation from modified flows.
