Title : Requirements for a QoS AAA Protocol
Author(s) : F. Alfano et al.
Filename : draft-alfano-aaa-qosreq-00.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 2003-6-24
This document describes requirements for a protocol that would
perform Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting for Quality-of-
Service reservations. This protocol would be used by elements along
the path of a given application flow to authenticate a reservation
request, ensure that the reservation is authorized, and to account
for resources used during the life of the application flow. A QoS
AAA protocol should also support dynamic authorization of QoS as a
function of application and account state. While we assume the
existence of some QoS reservation protocol to allow endpoints to
request QoS from network elements, complete requirements for such a
protocol are outside the scope of this document and a QoS AAA
protocol could be used to support more than one kind of reservation
protocol. A QoS AAA protocol could be used between any bearer-level
network element that lies along the path of an application flow and
an application server that lies anywhere in the network, allowing for
a wide variety of flexible service deployment models.

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
