A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5977 Title: RMD-QOSM: The NSIS Quality-of-Service Model for Resource Management in Diffserv Author: A. Bader, L. Westberg, G. Karagiannis, C. Kappler, T. Phelan Status: Experimental Stream: IETF Date: October 2010 Mailbox: Attila.Bader@ericsson.com, Lars.Westberg@ericsson.com, g.karagiannis@ewi.utwente.nl, cornelia.kappler@cktecc.de, tphelan@sonusnet.com Pages: 128 Characters: 324264 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-nsis-rmd-20.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5977.txt This document describes a Next Steps in Signaling (NSIS) Quality-of-Service (QoS) Model for networks that use the Resource Management in Diffserv (RMD) concept. RMD is a technique for adding admission control and preemption function to Differentiated Services (Diffserv) networks. The RMD QoS Model allows devices external to the RMD network to signal reservation requests to Edge nodes in the RMD network. The RMD Ingress Edge nodes classify the incoming flows into traffic classes and signals resource requests for the corresponding traffic class along the data path to the Egress Edge nodes for each flow. Egress nodes reconstitute the original requests and continue forwarding them along the data path towards the final destination. In addition, RMD defines notification functions to indicate overload situations within the domain to the Edge nodes. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. This document is a product of the Next Steps in Signaling Working Group of the IETF. EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
