   *  Storage Systems/Database Support for QoS 
   *  Experimental Studies on QoS, including Human Perception 
   *  QoS Programmability, Languages and Formal Method Techniques 
   *  QoS Economics and Implications 

In the past the workshop has been cross-disciplinary, small and well focused,
with the emphasis on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of time 
is devoted to informal discussion. The programs of the previous workshops is 
available online.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Integrated Services over Specific Link Layers Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: SBM (Subnet Bandwidth Manager):  A Protocol for 
                          RSVP-based Admission Control over IEEE 802-style  
                          networks

	Filename	: draft-ietf-issll-is802-sbm-10.txt
	Pages		: 67
	Date		: 02-Feb-00
	
This document describes a signaling method and protocol for RSVP-based
admission control over IEEE 802-style LANs. The protocol is designed
to work both with the current generation of IEEE 802 LANs as well as with the recent work completed by the IEEE 802.1 committee.

	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.

The IESG has approved the following Internet-Drafts as Proposed
Standards:


o SBM (Subnet Bandwidth Manager):  A Protocol for RSVP-based Admission
  Control over IEEE 802-style networks
	<draft-ietf-issll-is802-sbm-10.txt>
o Integrated Service Mappings on IEEE 802 Networks 
	<draft-ietf-issll-is802-svc-mapping-04.txt>

In the same action, the IESG also approved publication of A Framework
for Providing Integrated Services Over Shared and Switched IEEE 802 LAN
Technologies <draft-ietf-issll-is802-framework-07.txt> as an
Informational RFC.


These documents are the product of the Integrated Services over
Specific Link Layers Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Scott
Bradner and Vern Paxson.

 
Technical Summary
 
 These documents define the Subnet Bandwidth Manager (SBM) protocol, a
  set of service mappings to be used with SBM and a framework for providing
  Integrated Services over shared and switched IEEE-802-style LAN
  technologies.

  The SBM (Subnet Bandwidth Manager) protocol provides a method for mapping
  an internet-level setup protocol such as RSVP onto IEEE 802-style networks.
  In particular, it describes the operation of RSVP-enabled hosts/routers and
  link layer devices (switches, bridges) to support reservation of LAN
  resources for RSVP-enabled data flows.

  The service mapping document describes mappings of IETF Integrated Services
  over LANs built from IEEE 802 network segments which may be interconnected
  by IEEE 802.1D MAC Bridges (switches).  It describes parameter mappings for
  supporting Controlled Load and Guaranteed Service using the inherent
  capabilities of relevant IEEE 802 technologies

  The framework document describes a framework for supporting IETF Integrated
  Services on shared and switched LAN infrastructure.  It includes background
  material on the capabilities of IEEE 802 like networks with regard to
  parameters that affect Integrated Services such as access latency, delay
  variation and queuing support in LAN switches.  It discusses aspects of
  IETF's Integrated Services model that cannot easily be accommodated in
  different LAN environments.  It outlines a functional model for supporting
  the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) in such LAN environments.

Working Group Summary

  The working group supported the publication of these documents and no
  issues were raised during IETF Last-Call.

Protocol Quality

  These documents were reviewed for the IESG by Scott Bradner.

Hi,

The updated and corrected draft of a document discussing delay bounds over Diffserv cloud is available at 
ftp://ftpeng.cisco.com/ftp/acharny/aggregate_delay_v3.ps 

Thanks again to Jim Roberts and Jean-Yves Le Bouldec for pointing out an error in the original version of the document. 

Feedback and comments will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Anna

Hi,

I know that the following draft by Yoram Bernet et-al: 

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-issll-diffserv-rsvp-03.txt

addresses the usage of RSVP for dynamic Admission Control in a Diffserv
cloud. Has anybody extended this operation for actually reserving BW over a
Diffserv cloud. By reserving BW I mean adjusting/tuning the pre-configured
(provisioned) BW in the RSVP path for each Diffserv Class?

Thanks,
Shahram

See Fred Baker and co-authors draft on aggregate rsvp, in the same working
group. I think that it does what you mention.

Hi Fred,

I am trying to understand the BW reservation in a Diffserv network using
RSVP. I have read your Aggregate RSVP draft and I have the following
questions:

1) Do you require a two level hierarchical scheduling in the interior nodes
(i.e., a level of scheduling before the class queues)? in other words do you
require per-class queuing only (the same as Diffserv) or per-RSVP-aggregate
queuing in addition to per-Class-queuing? in the former case all the
Aggregate-RSVP BW requests passing through the same ingress and egress
interfaces of a node (not necessarily following the same path), can be added
together and a single queue (depending on the DSCP) be used for all of them,
while in the latter case each RSVP-aggregate will reserve a separate BW and
the packets of that flow don't share the same queue (very much like Intserv
or ATM VC scheduling).

2) You mention that it is better to use different PHBs for the BW signaled
flows (using aggregate RSVP). Can we use the same PHB for both provisioned
and signaled traffic, but use the RSVP-aggregate signaling to fine tune the
provisioned BW assignments to Diffserv classes in interior nodes?

Thanks,
- Shahram

Workshop on Quality of Service in Distributed Object Systems

In Association with:  14th European Conference on 
                      Object-Oriented Programming 
                      (ECOOP'2000) 
                      Sophia Antipolis and Cannes, France,  June 12-16, 2000

Workshop goal

The suitability of the object model for the modeling and implementation 
of distributed systems has lead to middleware platforms, such as e.g. 
CORBA, DCOM, and Java/RMI. Originally, these middleware systems 
aim at distribution transparency for application programmers. 

However, distributed systems are exposed to system issues, like 
dynamic performance changes or partial errors, that prevent a 
complete distribution transparency. Quality of Service (QoS) 
management addresses these issues. The goal is to add QoS management 
to the interactions between clients and services. 

Support for QoS management in distributed object systems is a hot 
topic of current research which poses a number of open questions: 
How is QoS integrated with the object model that emphasizes encapsulation 
and information hiding? Can one build generic support frameworks for 
multiple QoS categories, in contrast to specialized, single category 
systems, such as TAO, Electra, Eternal, DOORS among others. Can QoS be 
viewed as an aspect in the sense of Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) or
are other classifications more appropriate? 

This ECOOP-workshop will discuss the open questions and will summarize 
the state of the art in the field. The workshop will stimulate discussions 
about how next generation QoS management facilities can be built into 
object infrastructures. We expect the workshop to attract researchers 
from several groups which have working prototypes for this infrastructure. 
Reports on prototype systems are welcome as well as theoretical aspects, 
modeling techniques, and application scenarios.

Call for papers

Topics include, but are not restricted to 

   - Modeling QoS: suitability of object oriented modeling techniques,
     influences of QoS provision on the object-model, e.g. type systems 
   - Structure and implementation issues: Aspect Oriented Programming, 
     open implementations, and design patterns 
   - Scope of QoS-integration: generic integration, multi-category support, 
     impact on architecture and underlying object-model 
   - Integration of QoS management and network and application 
     management 
   - Experiences and case studies of QoS integration in OO-Middleware platforms 
   - Specialized QoS platforms vs. extending existing platforms 
   - Interoperability issues across QoS platforms 
   - QoS in the WWW 
   - Negotiation of QoS in open distributed systems 
   - Accounting and Pricing of QoS 
   - Ressource Control for QoS management

Dear all,

we have submitted three ID related to the Intserv operation over
Diffserv
network. Basically they propose a scenario where dynamic allocation in
the Diffserv network is performed by means of a "Bandwidth Broker".
The COPS protocol is used to support the communication between the Edge
Router and the Bandwidth Broker.

The first draft proposes the COPS extension to support Outsourcing
Diffserv
Resource Allocation, defining a COPS-ODRA client type;
the second draft describes the interaction between RSVP and COPS in the
Edge Router;
the third draft proposes an API to interact with the COPS client (in our
case
the API is used by the RSVP daemon).

We are in the process of implementing the proposed solution. We have
implemented
the COPS-ODRA client side and server side. We are modifying the RSVP
daemon for
the interaction with COPS client. We already have implemented a mapping
of
RSVP to Diffserv on the data plane. You can ask for further details...

We would like to hear comments... do you think this work can be of
interest
of the issll working group ?

Please find below the abstract of the drafts...



COPS Usage for Outsourcing Diffserv Resource Allocation

This document introduces a new client type for the COPS protocol to
support dynamic DiffServ admission control. The Policy Decision Point
(PDP) acts as a "Bandwidth Broker" for the Policy Enforcement Point
(PEP) which is requesting resources. The use of the defined mechanism is

suited for (but it is not limited to) the Integrated Services operation
over Diffserv networks.

Integrated services over DiffServ network using COPS-ODRA

This document details the IntServ operation over a DiffServ network in
the case of dynamic admission control procedure supported by the COPS
protocol. An RSVP aware Edge Router uses the COPS protocol in order to
query a Bandwidth Broker, which manages the resources within the
DiffServ domain. This document relies on the COPS extensions proposed in
the companion draft "COPS usage for Outsourcing DiffServ Resource
Allocation" [COPS-ODRA].

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mameli-issll-is-ds-cops-00.txt



The CCAPI (COPS Client Application Programming Interface)

This document focuses on the Admission Control functionality performed
by the Edge Router in the IntServ/DiffServ interworking scenario
described in [COPS-ISDS]. More precisely it describes the interaction
between the RSVP and the COPS protocols in the Edge Router and
introduces an API (Application Programming Interface) aimed at allowing
the intercommunication between them. Anyway, the API described here is
designed as a flexible interface, and should be able to support
communication between a generic application and the COPS Client Type
described in [COPS-ODRA].

I don't require anything in particular in the queuing. The question is "can
we reserve bandwidth for a stream of traffic marked with a given code
point", and the answer is "yes".

That's not to say that fancy queuing might not be useful. But at most what
is required is that the queuing support the reservation by giving the
needed bandwidth to the class of traffic, and that it conform to the
controlled load specification.

I think you mixed some concepts there. To me, a DSCP is something one uses
to identify traffic, a PHB is a document that describes what you will do
with traffic that is so marked, and various other configurations are
required to implement the PHB. Can you use the same PHB for different
classes of traffic? Yes, absolutely. But you cannot mark them the same. If
they are different classes of traffic, to differentiate them, you need
differing DSCPs.

To accomplish literally what you said, I think you provision the network to
believe that there needs to be some amount of provisioned capacity between
given ingress and egress points, and you set up reservations for that
amount. Signalled traffic might increase those provisions. So you could
certainly write a policy that achieved that.
