Title : Towards the Specification of a Diameter Resource Control Application: gaps, functional requirements and models, and implementations
Author(s) : D. Sun
Filename : draft-sun-dime-diameter-resource-control-requirements-00.txt
Pages : 26
Date : 2006-11-6
This I-D is to address the gaps in the ongoing discussion of the QoS
application in the DIME WG, discuss the extension of the scope of QoS
application and investigate potential mechanisms to support
additional resource control scenarios. The scope of diameter-qos-
strawman-00.txt and its predecessors is limited to QoS authorization
in an environment where end-hosts can directly request network
resources through path-coupled QoS signaling such as RSVP or NSIS. It
does not address environments where path-coupled QoS signaling is not
supported by end user equipments or networks. In such environments, a
different mode of operations is needed to allow an authorizing entity
to not just authorize QoS requests triggered by the QoS signaling but
also directly authorize and allocate resources, and dictate
routers/switches to act. The new mode of operations also lends itself
to address resource control in general. It can control resources for
the purpose beyond QoS support, such as NAPT, media latching, and
packet filtering.

In the body type:

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.
