Gina, We've talked a bit, both in the IETF's ISSLL working group and also offline, about a standard (or maybe a best-current-practices) document to define such a mapping. No official work items or proposals as yet though. There has been work on mapping Intserv to Diffserv (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-issll-ds-map-00.txt) and on mapping Intserv to 802.1D (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2815.txt): it is possible that there is some synergy there. You (and others) may also be interested in a MIB draft that I just submitted (see enclosed anouncement) which proposes how to use the Diffserv MIB (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-diffserv-mib-03.txt) to manage Diffserv-like QoS mechanisms in a layer-2 bridge. This provides a mechanism for configuring such mappings as you describe although it does not address the issues of standardised or default mappings or how you might decide what such mappings ought to be.

--- Begin Message ---A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Management Information Base for QoS Extensions for Bridges based on the Differentiated Services Architecture Author(s) : A. Smith Filename : draft-smith-bridge-qosmib-00.txt Pages : 19 Date : 12-Jun-00 This memo describes a SMIv2 MIB module for a device implementing bridging functions with Quality-of-Service mechanisms similar to those described for the Differentiated Services Architecture [DSARCH] which are described in detail by the Differentiated Services Router Conceptual Model [MODEL]. A MIB module for routers, the Diffserv MIB [DSMIB], has been developed that uses this model. The MIB module defined in this memo is designed to work in conjunction with that module: it defines usage for objects in that module and defines some new objects specific to MAC- layer bridges (a.k.a. Layer-2 switches). Specifically, if defines layer-2 classifier and packet marking functionality. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-smith-bridge-qosmib-00.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-smith-bridge-qosmib-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-smith-bridge-qosmib-00.txt". 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.--- Begin Message ------ End Message ------ End Message ---
