The Extensible Framework for Fine-Grained, Quality of Service (QoS) Assurances will provide fine-grained, content-aware, secure, scalable, quality-of-service assurances in demanding IPv4 and IPv6 network environments, such as wireless ad hoc networks, tactical networks, and space networks. The Framework can be extended to support, for example, a highly efficient dissemination solution for publish/subscribe systems used in resource-constrained networks. This work is funded by an Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award.
