<h3>NetAct
Radio Access Configurator (RAC)</h3>

<p>NetAct Radio Access Configurator (RAC) support for the
EQoS related parameters will be included in OSS4. RAC can be used to configure
the radio network parameters related to EQoS, see <em>GSM RNW
Parameters Part 1</em> and <em>Implementing Parameter Plans</em>
in NetAct documentation for details. </p>


<p>NetAct RAC does not support NSE resetting.</p>


<p>For a list of the EQoS-related RNW parameters, see <em>BSC parameters</em>.</p>

<h3>NetAct
Tracing</h3>

<p>Nokia NetAct TraceViewer offers efficient means to trace mobile equipment
or subscribers in GSM and GPRS networks that support EQoS features. In OSS4
onwards TraceViewer also shows the new information about PFC that was introduced
in GPRS observation report (GSMBSC25) by EQoS feature.</p>

<h3>NetAct
Optimizer</h3>

<p>Nokia NetAct Optimizer supports EQoS with the optional
Service Optimizer functionality. Service Optimizer features common means for
simultaneously optimising the conflicting interests of network capacity and
quality offered to services by implementing algorithms aimed at, for example,
balancing the traffic between CS and PS networks. Its target is in optimising
network behaviour and capacity so that service requirements are taken into
account, and end user experienced QoS remains on an agreed level. Service
Optimizer enables priorisation of services via treatment classes (TREC), and
offers means for analysing the service traffic behaviour on the same level.
Service Optimizer supports EQoS in phases, starting from priority QoS level
and advancing to full EQoS support in releases on top of OSS4.</p>

<h3>NetAct
Planner</h3>

<p>The effect of EQoS related parameters in traffic simulations
in NetAct Planner are currently under investigation. Certain enhancements
on the current (5.0) status of QoS modeling are possible but not yet confirmed
in NetAct Planner 5.2.</p>
