Multimedia applications present new challenges to the current networking technology. One of them is Quality of Service (QoS) requirement. Due to the increasing dynamics of traffic introduced by multimedia applications, dynamic and flexible QoS (Quality of Service) control is needed to ensure both QoS satisfaction and resource efficiency. Because integrated service networks are designed to support a wide range of traffic classes, which have different service requirements, developing metrics to

Performance metrics vary from one application class to another; some network features are fundamental to certain applications, while they may be unnecessary to other applications. In this paper there are presented the results of some tests performed on Cisco routers in a quality of service environment.
