<h1 class="topictitle1">QoS API connection-oriented functional flow</h1>
<div><p>The server and client examples in this topic illustrate qtoq quality
of service (QoS) socket APIs written for a connection-oriented
functional flow.</p>
<p>The following figure illustrates the client/server relationship of the
qtoq socket functions enabled for QoS APIs for a connection-oriented protocol,
such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).</p>
<p>When the QoS enabled API functions are called for a connection-oriented
flow requesting that ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) be initiated, additional
functions are initiated. These functions cause the QoS agents on the client
and server to set up the RSVP protocol for the data flow between the client
and the server.</p>
<br /><img src="rzak8508.gif" alt="client/server relationship" /><br /><p><strong>qtoq flow of events:</strong> The following sequence of socket calls provide
a description of the figure. It also describes the relationship between the
server and client application in a connection-oriented design. These are modifications
of the basic socket APIs.</p>

<li>The API calls the rapi_session() API and, if successful, a QoS session

<li>The API calls the standard accept() function to wait for a client connection

the rule returns to the calling application with the results and the session

transfers.</li>

<li>When a connection request comes in, the rapi_session() API is called to
create a session with the QoS server for this connection and to get the QoS
session ID, which is returned to the caller.</li>
<li>The rapi_sender() API is called to initiate a PATH message from the QoS
server and to inform the QoS server that it must expect an RESV message from
the client.</li>
<li>The rapi_getfd() API is called to get the descriptor that the applications
use to wait for QoS event messages.</li>
<li>The accept descriptor and the QoS descriptor are returned to the application.</li>
<li>The QoS server waits for the RESV message to be received. When the message
is received, the server loads the appropriate rule with the QoS manager and
