Description:	With continuous progress and advances in Internet Technology (IT) devices like smart mobiles, tablets and laptops, an increasing demand for real time applications had emerged. A massive number of real time traffic applications are now available at mobile markets for download (i.e. you tube, sound cloud, live TV, etc.). Existing Quality of Service (QoS) solutions provide general solutions for different types of traffic for IPv4 Addressing space. New fields and capabilities have been provided by the new version of Internet Protocol (IP) address space IPv6. Reliable QoS mechanism over IPv6 for video streaming is required with continued demands on video streaming services to meet the requirements of end users. Internet includes massive traffic types and increasing volumes of different types of data. Video Quality is also increased. This quality needs to be maintained all over the path from source to destination. Different QoS approaches has been proposed to provide a reliable end to end (e2e) communication for real time traffic, however, the network level QoS approaches has provided the most reliable QoS guarantees over e2e communication. The main goal of this research is to provide a reliable e2e QoS over IPv6 for video streaming which maintains the Quality of different classes of videos over the path from streaming source to destination. IPv6 20-bit Flow label field will be utilized to handle the main three parameters that control the quality of video: minimum bandwidth, minimum delay and packet loss. Proposed mechanism is simulated against best effort and Differentiated Service (DiffServ) mechanism using OPNET simulator. It provides a reliable level of QoS for high quality video. In congested network environment, proposed mechanism achieved acceptable end to end delay and jitter. E2e Delay has been decreased 4.7% less than DiffServ mechanism. Jitter is also decreased to 15%, better than DiffServ mechanism. Proposed mechanism maintained reliable e2e QoS for video streaming application where QoS parameters are guaranteed over all network nodes from source to destination. QoS has been achieved without extra configuration or bandwidth overhead. The computing overhead has been minimized where routers can read directly the values of traffic requirements from the flow label field of the IPv6 header, Certification of Master / Doctoral Thesis” is not available,Master of Computer Science
