For how the TOS bits are honored in diff-serv, check out the diff-serv drafts, in particular http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-diffserv-header-02.txt and http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-diffserv-af-00.txt As for configured rules, those are vendor-specific. However, in MPOA there's a new contribution attempting to standardize packet classification rules, from Barbara Fox at Lucent. We'll be arguing about it at the ATM Forum meeting in two weeks. (Actually, I've already done my arguing and am happy with the result.) Once we get agreement in MPOA we hope to extend it to all "distributed router" situations, i.e. where IP services are provided over ATM or other virtualized subnetwork and where route computation intelligence is separate from forwarding execution. For developments in signaling requests, check out the RAP working group. Start at http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/rap-charter.html. ...Scott |
