An Informal Management Model for Diffserv Routers

Overview

RFC 3290, “An Informal Management Model for Diffserv Routers”, is an Informational document published in June 2002 by Y. Bernet, S. Blake, D. Grossman, A. Smith. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document proposes an informal management model of Differentiated Services (Diffserv) routers for use in their management and configuration. This model defines functional datapath elements (e.g., classifiers, meters, actions, marking, absolute dropping, counting, multiplexing), algorithmic droppers, queues and schedulers. It describes possible configuration parameters for these elements and how they might be interconnected to realize the range of traffic conditioning and per-hop behavior (PHB) functionalities described in the Diffserv Architecture. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
