Eric,

	please clarify for me. Do you mean with QoS something as simple
as space or bandwidth reservation or do you mean something as complicated
as the detailed properties reserved bandwidth has to adhere to?

I am in complete agreement with you that the "properties of reserved
bandwidth" should be negotiated off line. However, the availability
and reservation should be an online process.
