Hi,
	I am in a need to use a Traffic Manager for a specific purpose.
The feedback from TM will be used to configure/control network devices
in a dynamic network. 
	Is there any kind TM for us to refer to in public domain ? Thanks. 

Sincerely,
Dhiman

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Policy Framework Working Group of the IETF.

     Title          : Policy Framework QoS Information Model
     Author(s) : Y. Snir, Y. Ramberg, J. Strassner, R. Cohen
     Filename  : draft-ietf-policy-qos-info-model-01.txt
     Pages          : 71
     Date      : 01-May-00

This document presents an object-oriented information model for
representing network QoS policies. This document refines the core
policy information model presented in [PCIM]. Specifically, this draft
refines the concept of generic policy rules, conditions and actions to
cover extensions necessary for representing QoS policies. It also
provides refinement of additional concepts that are important for
building rule-specific as well as reusable QoS policy rules. This
information model covers Differentiated Services QoS enforcement, and
Integrated Service QoS enforcement via policy control on RSVP
admission. It is important to note that this document defines an
information model, which by definition is independent of any particular
repository and access protocol. A companion document [QoSSCHEMA]
defines the mapping of these classes to a directory that uses LDAPv3 as
its access protocol. A second companion document [QOSDEV] supplies low-
level definitions of QoS mechanisms that are controlled by this
document.

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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Policy Framework Working Group of the IETF.

     Title          : QoS Policy Schema
     Author(s) : Y. Snir, Y. Ramberg, J. Strassner,  R. Cohen
     Filename  : draft-ietf-policy-qos-schema-01.txt
     Pages          : 79
     Date      : 01-May-00

The purpose of this document is to provide a mapping of QoS policy
information to a form that can be implemented in a directory that uses
(L)DAP as its access protocol. Its derivation is as follows.

The structure of generic policy information is defined in the Policy
Core Information Model ([PCIM]). The mapping of this information to a
form that can be implemented in a directory is defined in the Policy
Core Schema ([PFSCHEMA]). The [PCIM] is extended to represent specific
information needed to represent QoS policies with the QoS Information
Model ([QOSIM]). This draft, then, maps the data defined in the [QOSIM]
to a form that can be implemented in a directory. Specifically, this
draft refines the concept of generic policy rules, conditions and
actions to cover extensions necessary for representing policies to
control the configuration and management of RSVP and Differentiated
Services. This document also discusses LDAP related issues regarding
the implementation of such a schema.

Policy Framework Working Group,

This is a call for volunteers, to edit the next revision of the policy
terminology draft.    Please send a reply to John and I, before the end of this
week, Friday, May 12, to indicate your willingness to participate on this team.
If you are on the current editor team for this draft, please indicate whether
you wish to continue.

The Policy Terminology draft is now the responsibility of this working group.
We need a revised document to be ready for some level of working group last call
before the next IETF, so time is short.

This effort is fundamental to understanding how the multiple IETF policy efforts
are related, and hence the need for urgency.  Please respond as quickly as
possible.  Thanks!

An update to the PCIM, draft-ietf-policy-core-info-model-06.txt,
is now available on the Internet-Drafts repository.  This update
was done in response to an IESG comment pointing out that the
handling of time zone information in PCIM-05 was inadequate.  The
update also contains a general cleanup item, and a change that
removes some text that might be appropriate for the LDAP
representation of the model, but is not appropriate for the
PCIM itself.  Specifically:


1. The time zone issue concerned the use of UTC offsets.  In PCIM-05,
   the ApplicableTimeZone property allowed times to be specified
   with a numeric offset (+ or -) from UTC time -- for example,
   -0500 for [US] Eastern Time.  The iCalendar spec (RFC 2445),
   however, explains that while numeric offsets from UTC are fine
   for past times, they are not sufficient for future intervals of
   time that span Daylight Savings Time transitions.  A new section
   5.4 in PCIM-06 provides more details on this issue, and explains
   how it is being addressed in the PCIM.

2. There are also two changes unrelated to time zones that I made in
   PCIM-06.  In both cases these involved the removal of obsolete
   text that should have been removed back in PCIM-03 or PCIM-04, but
   was missed.

   The two paragraphs that I removed:

      Since conditions may be defined explicitly in a subclass of
      PolicyRule, the AND/OR mechanism to combine these conditions
      with other (associated) PolicyConditions MUST be specified by
      the PolicyRule's subclass.  (section 7.6)

      For actions defined explicitly in a subclass of PolicyRule,
      the ordering mechanism must be specified in the subclass
      definition.  (section 7.10)

   The problem with both of these passages is that we introduced text
   in these sections stating that

      A policy rule that aggregates zero policy conditions [actions]
      is not a valid rule -- it may, for example, be in the process
      of being entered into the policy repository.

   In making this change, to allow for better automated detection of
   invalid policy rules, we legislated out of existence the cases
   that the two paragraphs were referring to.

   I don't regard these two deletions as technical changes to the
   PCIM -- they're just editorial cleanup that should have happened
   long ago.

3. Finally, I removed some "lingering LDAP" flavor from the two
   associations PolicyGroupInSystem and PolicyRuleInSystem, to
   parallel changes that were made during final WG review in the
   DMTF.  Formerly, the relationship between a policy group or
   policy rule and the system it applies to was expressed in terms
   of "containment".  While this might be how these associations
   are represented when the information model is mapped to LDAP,
   in the model itself they are more correctly characterized as
   ones of scope, not containment.

Regards,
Bob

Policy Framework Working Group,

A new  -06 version  of the PCIM is now in the repository, and referenced from
the wg home page.  Thanks to  Bob Moore  for getting the document updated and
posted!

The major change in this version is with regard to the handling of time zones.

We made this change in response to IESG concerns.  We would like working group
review comments while the -06 version  is going through IETF last call.  That
is, we are running the wg review of the time zone change, and IETF last call
review in parallel.

Thanks!

Ed Ellesson and John Strassner, co-chairs

I do think that the draft serves a useful purpose in highlighting some
areas in which work remains to be done. However, I think that it paints
a pessimistic picture of the state of the art and negelcts important
prior work and developments. I would like to see it refined to account
for these. I think that it should not be issued as an RFC at this time.
I'll delve a little deeper in the following paragraphs. I would be happy
to write paragraph by paragraph comments on the draft, if the iab is
receptive/interested in this.=20

The concluding paragraphs call for "integrating the various elements of
the (QoS) architecture into a cohesive whole" (section 6). The major
elements discussed in the draft are intergated services and
differentiated services. Oddly enough, the integration of these into a
cohesive whole is precisely the work that has been underway for over a
year, in the issll working group (see
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-issll-diffserv-rsvp-04.tx
t). Yet this document is not even cited in the references. Geoff - are
you aware of the work that has been going on in this realm?

Section 4.12 cites the "chicken and egg" problem of applications waiting
for infrastructure and infrastructure waiting for applications. I think
that the missing yet relevant pieces here are network devices and host
operating systems. Network devices had support for a primitive form of
diffserv for years (they are now becoming available with more
sophisticated forms of diffserv support). Similarly, major equipment
vendors have had RSVP available for several years. An operating system
with a relatively simple and cohesive API has just become broadly
available. Sure - there have been RSVP APIs for some time, as well as
traffic control APIs, yet these did not combine the different elements
into a cohesive whole in a manner that simpifies the task for
applications. Following the availability of an operating system with a
cohesive API, QoS enabled applications are emerging. Applications that
use the QoS API include SAP/R3, Netmeeting, and TAPI-3 enabled apps.
Applications that are currently porting to these APIs include Windows
Media Technology and IP/TV. I think that given this landscape and the
dramatic recent changes, the assessment of the state of the art in the
text is quite pessimistic.

Which brings me to the third point - section 7, although it starts by
stating charitably that "there is no reason to condemn the QoS
architectures as completely impractical" and goes on to mention that the
missing sections need to be filled in with something "more substantial
than pixie dust and wishful thinking" - scares the hell out of me. While
I actually agree that there are missing pieces and I agree that a great
service can be done by filling these in (I happen to believe that they
lie primarily in the area of policy based provisioning and configuration
as well as traffic engineering), I am afraid that this doc, in its
current form will have a chilling effecrt on the creativity that we are
seeing in the industry. It stands to chill both potential customers as
well as equipment vendors from further experimentation, development and
deployment, much in the same way that the RSVP Applicability Statement
did some time ago.  =20
 =20
I have been working for some time now on the integration of the existing
QoS components into a cohesive whole. I have been working with leaders
in the industry as well as with IT folks and with customers. I think
that Geoff's assessment of the weaknesses of the various architectures
is pretty much correct. I also think that the work that has been
happenning in the ISSLL group has been combining the architectures in a
manner that addresses many of the deficiencies. I agree with Geoff on
many of the individual issues raised. For example, I agree that the
converged architecture must address QoS deployment diversity (as
discussed in section 4.10). I think that the current converged approach
is heading in this direction. I have considered issuing a draft
describing how it does so, but simply have not had the time. Briefly
put, the current converged approach suggests that applications signal to
indicate what they would like and to provide the network information
about themselves. This signaling is generally alolowed to flow
end-to-end through the network. It is listened to by those devices that
can benefit from listening to it. It is ignored by those that cannot.
Certain devices will respond by installing per-flow state. Others will
simply apply aggregate diffserv style traffic handling. The quality of
services that a specific subnetwork can offer and the efficiency with
which it can do so will depend on the functionality of the network
devices within that subnetwork. The network manager is able to configure
network elements in his or her subnetwork, to dial-in the desired
tradeoff of QE product (bieng able to simultaneously support high
quality services and to operate the network efficiently in terms of
resource consumption) and processing overhead. This can be done in a
seamless manner - all the information is available to the network
manager to choose the point at which he/she wishes to operate his/her
network. His/her choices are compatible with the choicesof network
managers upstream or downstream. This idea is developed in a number of
papers including one published recently in IEEE Communications, February
issue.   =20

I can't imagine that they wouldn't be. I think you should copy the IAB on

Policy Framework Working Group:


This is to thank all of you who expressed interest in contributing to the policy
terminology draft, and to announce that Andrea Westerinen
<andreawest@mindspring.com>, will be the editor for the next draft of the
document.  Thank you Andrea, for agreeing to edit this important draft!

The following people also expressed interest in contributing, and will
constitute the "design team" for this draft, led by Andrea.  Clear and proper
credit to the editors/contributors of earlier drafts will also be attributed in
the new draft.

Andrea, please consider this note as your mandate to move forward, and to
organize the efforts of this team to produce a new draft well before the next
IETF draft deadline (for the Pittsburgh IETF meeting), so that other working
group drafts can use the terminology documented there.


Proposed "Design Team":

Andrea will be the document editor, and the "Design Team"
includes:

John Schnizlein <jschnizl@cisco.com>
Jay Perry <jay@cplane.com>
Shai Herzog <herzog@iphighway.com>
Bob Quinn <rcq@stardust.com>
"Mark Scherling" <MarkScherling@BankOneIntl.com>
Ed Ellesson <ed_ellesson@tivoli.com>
John Strassner <johns@cisco.com>
"Huynh, An-Ni (An-Ni)" <ahuynh@lucent.com>
Mark Stevens <markstevens@lucent.com>
"Said Soulhi (LMC)" <lmcsaso@lmc.ericsson.se>
"Mark A. Carlson" <mark.carlson@sun.com>


As always, anyone can contribute to the efforts of our working group, including
the polterm project.  However, to get things moving again, we felt it would be
good to have a somewhat smaller group (i.e. smaller than the entire working
group) produce the next draft, so that it can get done and out in a short period
of time. The above team constitutes that smaller group of individuals, who
indicated their interest to contribute by responding to our earlier note
requesting volunteers.  Of course, the resulting draft will be discussed and a
working group consensus developed for its contents, on this mailing list, once
it has been produced and posted by the above design team.

Thanks again to all of you who are planning to contribute.


Ed Ellesson and John Strassner.
