Internet Protocol-based applications are the prevailing trend of the telecommunications market, but the path towards the "IP over everything" target is not unhampered. The main shortcoming of the IP protocol is its incapability of providing guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS), although significant effort is spent within different standardization bodies and organizations. This paper proposes architecture for the implicit and explicit service activation of Internet Services with guaranteed QoS, based on existing Service Level Specification (SLS). The supported level of QoS is according to the customer's demands and the network supportability defined within the terms of a signed Service Level Agreement (SLA).
