RE: [AAA-DOCTORS] [Dime] AD Review of dime-qos-parameters-06.txt
Hi Bernard,
We have currently three documents in DIME that relate to QoS: The Diameter
QoS application specifies, as the name indicates, a Diameter application for
usage with QoS. The QoS attribute draft provides the encoding of classifiers
and AVPs relevant for QoS. The actual QoS parameters for an initial profile
are defined in the QoS parameters draft. These drafts in DIME focus on
Diameter usage. We have dependencies from the 3GPP on these documents.
It is, however, quite easy to imagine that QoS parameters might also be
useful in a RADIUS context. In fact we had a document some time ago that
described how to re-use the same QoS parameter format for RADIUS. The
document is, however, expired now and would need a significant update given
the changes we have seen in the DIME documents.
When it comes to the format then our believe so far was that the format of
the QoS parameters was not really important as the authorization decision
and related admission control procedures by the AAA server will require code
changes. Code changes to the AAA client will be needed as well since the
parameters need to be feed into a Traffic Control module.
Ciao
Hannes
