networks, especially in developing countries.

In general, all-IP network architecture only provides "Best Effort" services for large volume of data flowing through the network. This massive amount of data and applications in different areas increasingly demand better treatment of the information. Many applications such as medicine, education, telecommunications, natural disasters, stock exchange markets or real-time services, require a superior

The new requirements arising from this type of traffic and certain users' habits have produced the necessity of different levels of services and a more scalable architecture, with better support for mobility and increased data security. Large companies are increasing the use of data content, which requires greater bandwidth. Videoconferencing is a good example. There are also delay-sensitive applications like the

The relentless use of mobile terminals and the growth of traffic over telecommunication networks, whether fixed or mobile, are a true global phenomenon in the field of telecommunications. The increasing use of mobile devices in recent years has been exponential. Nowadays, the number of mobile terminals exceeds that of personal computers. At the same time, we see that mobile networks are a good alternative to complement or replace existing gaps for Internet access in fixed

The growth in the use of Telecommunications networks has come mainly with the third generation systems and voice traffic. With the current third generation and the arrival of the 4G, the number of mobile users in the world will exceed the number of landlines users. Audio and video streaming have had a significant increase, parallel to the requirements of bandwidth and quality of service demanded by those

The increase in data traffic is due to the expansion of the Internet and all kinds of data and information on different types of networks. The success of IP-based applications such as web and broadband multimedia contents are a good example. These factors create new opportunities in the evolution of the Telecommunications Networks. Users demand communications services regardless whether the type of access is fixed or via

treatment than the one offered by the "Best Effort" IP protocol.
