This memo analyzes provider-to-provider QoS agreements suitable for aglobal QoS-enabled Internet. It defines terminology relevant to inter-domain QoS models. It proposes a new concept denoted by Meta- QoS-Class (MQC). This concept could potentially drive and federate the wayQoS inter-domain relationships are built between providers. It opensup new perspectives for a QoS-enabled Internet that retains, as muchas possible, the openness of the existing best-effort Internet.
