| Marek Landowski, PhD student in Electrical, Electronic & Communications Engineering at University College Dublin, was born in Starogard Gdanski, Poland in 1983. He received the MSc degree in Electronic & Telecommunications Engineering from Gdansk University of Technology, Poland in 2007. His thesis on 'FAN conception of traffic control in IP QoS networks', was researched during an Erasmus scholarship at Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieros de Telecomunicacion, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain. In January 2008, Marek joined the Circuits and Systems research group at University College Dublin and since then he has been conducting PhD studies in the area of Flow Control in Communication Networks under the supervision of Dr Paul F. Curran. In his free time, Marek is trying to continue paragliding and preparing for CCNP certificate exams.

| Next generation networks (NGNs) are required to support a broad variety of services such as voice and video over IP, file sharing, web browsing, cloud computing, etc. Some of these services have strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements (ITU-T Y.1541). For example real-time applications demand specific values of the delay to ensure acceptable human perception. In this instance, Quality of Service refers to the control mechanisms which can provide different levels of priority to different applications connecting through the network to guarantee a desired level of performance. The way user's Quality of Service requirements are satisfied has large influence to the way routers serve the traffic. The router's QoS policy may include for example packet scheduling, load balancing, QoS routing, use of reservation protocols or policy servers. Current developments towards NGNs adopt different methods for service guarantees and broadly are divided into IntServ, DiffServ and FAN architectures. The percentage volume of real-time traffic on the Internet is still low but growing from year to year. This will exacerbate problems of traffic controlled on the packet level, because routers investigate every packet regardless of the header. Alternatively traffic can be controlled at the flow level where all packets belonging to the same flow are treated in an identical manner. For reasons of efficiency this method of service appears to be more suitable for the control of large volumes of data and may also be embedded in MPLS or the virtual environment.
