    Pakistan Internet Exchange (PIE) serves as the backbone internet infrastructure for Pakistan. This document discusses (1) predicting future internet traffic trends on the PIE backbone using time series and wavelet models and (2) assessing voice quality for VoIP calls using the E-model and experiments on the PIE network. The results show that while PIE backbone links provide satisfactory quality, congestion on access links degrades overall end-to-end voice quality below satisfactory levels. The conclusion is that end-to-end quality of service for VoIP cannot be ensured without deploying an end-to-end QoS architecture.

    Perceptual quality assessment for
    VoIP for the PIE backbone
    Results

     In the 4 scenarios studied:


     The backbone links exhibit low mean jitter

     Access links present congestion hot spots

     A satisfactory QoS cannot be achieved on an end


    to end basis because of bottlenecks in the access
    links
    Conclusions

    End to End QoS for VoIP can not


    be achieved unless an end to end
    QoS architecture is deployed.
