NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol for Quality-of-Service Signaling
RFC 5974, “NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol for Quality-of-Service Signaling”, is an Experimental document published in October 2010 by J. Manner, G. Karagiannis, A. McDonald. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification describes the NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol (NSLP) for signaling Quality of Service (QoS) reservations in the Internet. It is in accordance with the framework and requirements developed in NSIS. Together with General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST), it provides functionality similar to RSVP and extends it. The QoS NSLP is independent of the underlying QoS specification or architecture and provides support for different reservation models. It is simplified by the elimination of support for multicast flows. This specification explains the overall protocol approach, describes the design decisions made, and provides examples. It specifies object, message formats, and processing rules. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
