RFC2748 - The COPS (Common Open Policy Service) Protocol
This document describes a simple client/server model for supporting policy control over QoS signaling protocols. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC2749 - COPS usage for RSVP
This document describes usage directives for supporting COPS policy services in RSVP environments. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC2750 - RSVP Extensions for Policy Control
This memo presents a set of extensions for supporting generic policy based admission control in RSVP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC2751 - Signaled Preemption Priority Policy Element
This document describes a preemption priority policy element for use by signaled policy based admission protocols (such as RSVP and COPS). [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC2752 - Identity Representation for RSVP
This document describes the representation of identity information in POLICY_DATA object for supporting policy based admission control in RSVP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC2753 - A Framework for Policy-based Admission Control
This document is concerned with specifying a framework for providing policy-based control over admission control decisions. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
RFC2872 - Application and Sub Application Identity Policy Element for Use with RSVP
RSVP signaling messages typically include policy data objects, which in turn contain policy elements. Policy elements may describe user and/or application information, which may be used by RSVP aware network elements to apply appropriate policy decisions to a traffic flow. This memo details the usage of policy elements that provide application information. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC2940 - Definitions of Managed Objects for Common Open Policy Service (COPS) Protocol Clients
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP based internets. In particular it defines objects for managing a client of the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC3084 - COPS Usage for Policy Provisioning (COPS-PR)
This document describes the use of the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol for support of policy provisioning (COPS-PR). [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC3159 - Structure of Policy Provisioning Information (SPPI)
This document, the Structure of Policy Provisioning Information (SPPI), defines the adapted subset of SNMP's Structure of Management Information (SMI) used to write Policy Information Base (PIB) modules. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC3181 - Signaled Preemption Priority Policy Element
This document describes a preemption priority policy element for use by signaled policy based admission protocols (such as the Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) and Common Open Policy Service (COPS). [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC3182 - Identity Representation for RSVP
This document describes the representation of identity information in POLICY_DATA object for supporting policy based admission control in the Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP). The goal of identity representation is to allow a process on a system to securely identify the owner and the application of the communicating process (e.g., user id) and convey this information in RSVP messages (PATH or RESV) in a secure manner. We describe the encoding of identities as RSVP policy element. We describe the processing rules to generate identity policy elements for multicast merged flows. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC3318 - Framework Policy Information Base
This document defines a set of PRovisioning Classes (PRCs) and textual conventions that are common to all clients that provision policy using Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol for Provisioning.
Structure of Policy Provisioning Information (SPPI) describes a structure for specifying policy information that can then be transmitted to a network device for the purpose of configuring policy at that device. The model underlying this structure is one of well-defined (PRCs) and instances of these classes (PRIs) residing in a virtual information store called the Policy Information Base (PIB).
One way to provision policy is by means of the (COPS) protocol with the extensions for provisioning. This protocol supports multiple clients, each of which may provision policy for a specific policy domain such as QoS, virtual private networks, or security.
As described in COPS usage for Policy Provisioning (COPS-PR), each client supports a non-overlapping and independent set of PIB modules. However, some PRovisioning Classes are common to all subject-categories (client-types) and need to be present in each.
RFC3483 - Framework for Policy Usage Feedback for Common Open Policy Service with Policy Provisioning (COPS-PR)
Common Open Policy Services (COPS) Protocol (RFC 2748), defines the capability of reporting information to the Policy Decision Point (PDP). The types of report information are success, failure and accounting of an installed state. This document focuses on the COPS Report Type of Accounting and the necessary framework for the monitoring and reporting of usage feedback for an installed state. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
RFC3520 - Session Authorization Policy Element
This document describes the representation of a session authorization policy element for supporting policy-based per-session authorization and admission control. The goal of session authorization is to allow the exchange of information between network elements in order to authorize the use of resources for a service and to co-ordinate actions between the signaling and transport planes. This document describes how a process on a system authorizes the reservation of resources by a host and then provides that host with a session authorization policy element which can be inserted into a resource reservation protocol (e.g., the Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) PATH message) to facilitate proper and secure reservation of those resources within the network. We describe the encoding of session authorization information as a policy element conforming to the format of a Policy Data object (RFC 2750) and provide details relating to operations, processing rules and error scenarios. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC3521 - Framework for Session Set-up with Media Authorization
Establishing multimedia streams must take into account requirements for end-to-end QoS, authorization of network resource usage and accurate accounting for resources used. During session set up, policies may be enforced to ensure that the media streams being requested lie within the bounds of the service profile established for the requesting host. Similarly, when a host requests resources to provide a certain QoS for a packet flow, policies may be enforced to ensure that the required resources lie within the bounds of the resource profile established for the requesting host. To prevent fraud and to ensure accurate billing, this document describes various scenarios and mechanisms that provide the linkage required to verify that the resources being used to provide a requested QoS are in- line with the media streams requested (and authorized) for the session. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
RFC3571 - Framework Policy Information Base for Usage Feedback
This document describes a portion of the Policy Information Base (PIB) to control policy usage collection and reporting in a device. The provisioning classes specified here allow a Policy Decision Point (PDP) to select which policy objects should collect usage information, what information should be collected and when it should be reported. This PIB requires the presence of other PIBs (defined elsewhere) that provide the policy objects from which usage information is collected. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
RFC4261 - Common Open Policy Service (COPS) Over Transport Layer Security (TLS)
This document describes how to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure Common Open Policy Service (COPS) connections over the Internet.
This document also updates RFC 2748 by modifying the contents of the Client-Accept message. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
