The IESG has approved of the following the Internet-Drafts as Proposed Standards: o The Use of RSVP with IETF Integrated Services <draft-ietf-intserv-rsvp-use-02.txt> o Specification of the Controlled-Load Network Element Service <draft-ietf-intserv-ctrl-load-svc-05.txt> o Specification of Guaranteed Quality of Service <draft-ietf-intserv-guaranteed-svc-08.txt> o Integrated Services Management Information Base <draft-ietf-intserv-mib-010.txt> o Integrated Services Management Information Base Guaranteed Service Extensions <draft-ietf-intserv-guaranteed-mib-04.txt> o General Characterization Parameters for Integrated Service Network Elements <draft-ietf-intserv-charac-03.txt> The IESG also approved publication of Network Element Service Specification Template <draft-ietf-intserv-svc-template-03.txt> as an Informational RFC. These documents are products of the Integrated Services Working Group The IESG contact persons are Scott Bradner and Allyn Romanow. Technical Summary These documents are products of the Integrated Services Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Scott Bradner and Allyn Romanow. These documents define network element behavior needed to support two types of quality of service (QoS) functions for use in TCP/IP networks. Elements suppporting these behaviors can be used with manual configuration, in conjunction with signaling protocols such as RSVP or with yet to be developed control technologies. The documents also define SNMP MIBs for the control and monitoring of elements supporting these behaviors, describe how they can be used with RSVP and specifies a "template" which service specification documents should follow. The first description is of the network element behavior required to deliver a guaranteed service (guaranteed delay and bandwidth) in the Internet. Guaranteed service provides firm (mathematically provable) bounds on end-to-end datagram queueing delays. This service makes it possible to provide a service that guarantees both delay and bandwidth. The second description is of the network element behavior required to deliver Controlled-Load service in the Internet. Controlled-load service provides the client data flow with a quality of service closely approximating the QoS that same flow would receive from an unloaded network element, but uses capacity (admission) control to assure that this level of service is received even when the network element is overloaded. Working Group Summary Minor issues were raised during the last call period and corrected in the Internet Drafts. Protocol Quality These documents were reviewed for the IESG by Scott Bradner and Allison Mankin.
