The intention of the examples is to illustrate a different usages of the defined QoS Profile labels. The first example focuses on a wide area network usage. The second example describes a case, where the network is specially prepared in well define geographical areas for supporting Quality on Demand needs. +Here is one possible example of mapping table from QoS Profiles to provided connectivity characteristics. The intention of the examples is to illustrate the principle usage of the defined QoS Profile labels. It focus on connectivity characteristics in a wide area network usage. -It is generally assumed that some for of an agreement between the API Invoker and the CSP exists, which defines the service levels, conditions and restrictions.
