	Title		: Requirements for support of Diff-Serv-aware MPLS 
                          Traffic Engineering
	Author(s)	: F. Le Faucheur, W. Lai
	Filename	: draft-ietf-tewg-diff-te-reqts-06.txt
	Pages		: 18

This document presents the Service Provider requirements for support 
of Diff-Serv aware MPLS Traffic Engineering (DS-TE).  
Its objective is to provide guidance for the definition, selection 
and specification of a technical solution addressing these  
requirements. Specification for this solution itself is outside the 
scope of this document. 
A problem statement is first provided. Then, the document describes 
example applications scenarios identified by Service Providers where 
existing MPLS Traffic Engineering mechanisms fall short and Diff-
Serv-aware Traffic Engineering is required. The detailed 
requirements that need to be addressed by the technical solution are 
also reviewed. Finally, the document identifies the evaluation 
criteria that should be considered for selection and definition of 
the technical solution.

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.
