Title : Information Model for Describing Network Device QoS
Datapath Mechanisms

The purpose of this document is to define an information model to
describe the quality of service (QoS) mechanisms inherent in
different network devices, including hosts. Broadly speaking,
these mechanisms describe the properties common to selecting and
conditioning traffic through the forwarding path (datapath) of a
network device. This selection and conditioning of traffic in
the datapath spans both major QoS architectures: Differentiated
Services and Integrated Services.
This documenthis document should be used with the QoS Policy
Information Model (QPIM) to model how policies can be defined to
manage and configure the QoS mechanisms (i.e., the
classification, marking, metering, dropping, queuing, and
scheduling functionality) of devices. Together, these two drafts
describe how to write QoS policy rules to configure and manage
the QoS mechanisms present in the datapaths of devices.
This document, as well as QPIM, are information models. That is,
they represent information independent of a binding to a specific
type of repository.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
