       Title     : QoS Path Management with RSVP

This document describes a proposal aimed at allowing management through the
RSVP [RZB+96] protocol of paths selected by a QoS routing algorithm such as
those of [GOW96, ZSSC96].  The goals of the proposal are to allow efficient
management of such QoS paths with the minimum possible impact to the RSVP 
protocol and the existing routing infrastructure.  Basic features of the 
approach include leveraging of RSVP soft state mechanisms, and simple 
extensions to enable soft pinning (sticking) of paths selected by the QoS 
routing algorithm.  In addition, the proposal addresses the issue of 
preventing the formation of data path loops, and of avoiding potential race
conditions.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-guerin-qospath-mgmt-rsvp-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
