Cost Components of QoS Routing

• Processing costs

  • Computing QoS paths
  • Processing additional LSAs
    • Additional LSAs needed to advertise changes in available bandwidth on router links

• Storage costs

  • Expanded topology database
    • Stores link metrics information
  • Memory for QoS routing table (precomputation)

• Bandwidth cost

  • Additional LSA traffic
