The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Quality of Service Option for Proxy Mobile IPv6' (draft-ietf-netext-pmip6-qos-12.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Network-Based Mobility Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman and Ted Lemon. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netext-pmip6-qos/ Technical Summary: This specification defines a new mobility option, the Quality of Service (QoS) option, for Proxy Mobile IPv6. This option can be used by the local mobility anchor and the mobile access gateway for negotiating Quality of Service parameters for a mobile node's IP flows. The negotiated QoS parameters can be used for QoS policing and marking of packets to enforce QoS differentiation on the path between the local mobility anchor and the mobile access gateway. Furthermore, making QoS parameters available on the mobile access gateway enables mapping of these parameters to QoS rules that are specific to the access technology and allows those rules to be enforced on the access network using access technology specific approaches. Working Group Summary: The WG supports this I-D as it is relevant in the context of the protocols applicability within 3GPP standards. There is strong support to standardize this work. It has been reviewed multiple times by several experts. Document Quality: There is at least one known implementation of the protocol. There is good support for the specification and an interest in utilizing the protocol as a feature by various vendors. All reviewers of the I-D have been acknowledged in the document.
