It evaluates the ability to meet the need of the customers in service.Generally, the evaluation is not to grade precisely. Its purpose is to analyze theconditions when the service is the best and the conditions when the service still needsimprovement and then to make improvements in the specified aspects.In internet, QoS evaluates the ability of the network to deliver packets. The evaluationon QoS can be based on different aspects because the network provides variousservices. Generally speaking, QoS is the evaluation on the service ability to support thecore requirements such as delay, delay variation and packet loss ratio in the packetdelivery.
