	Title		: NSIS Network Service Layer Protocol QoS Signaling Proof-of-Concept

This draft describes a proof-of-concept example of NSIS Signaling Layer 
Protocol (NSLP) for signaling QoS reservations in the Internet.  The 
example is based on standardization work in the ITU-T of QoS signaling 
requirements. The QoS-NSLP is independent of the underlying QoS 
specification or architecture and provides support for different 
reservation models.  Together with the NSIS Transport Layer Protocol 
(NTLP), the NSLP provides functionality similar to RSVP and extends it. 
This draft provides a proof-of-concept example of the NSIS NSLP for QoS 
signaling.  The example is based on standardization work in the ITU-T on 
QoS signaling requirements [E.361, TRQ-QoS-SIG], and is specified in 
terms of the QoS-signaling model and Qspec template given in the 'NSLP 
for QoS Signaling' specification [QoS-SIG].

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.
