Ginoza Informational [Page 1]

RFC 2999 Summary of 2900-2999 August 2001

2997 Bernet Nov 2000 Specification of the Null
Service Type

The Null Service allows applications to identify themselves to network
Quality of Service (QoS) policy agents, using RSVP signaling. However,
it does not require them to specify resource requirements. QoS policy
agents in the network respond by applying QoS policies appropriate for
the application (as determined by the network administrator). This mode
of RSVP usage is particularly applicable to networks that combine
differentiated service (diffserv) QoS mechanisms with RSVP signaling.
In this environment, QoS policy agents may direct the signaled
application's traffic to a particular diffserv class of service.

2992 Hopps Nov 2000 Analysis of an Equal-Cost
Multi-Path Algorithm

Equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) is a routing technique for routing packets

paths by next-hop. When forwarding a packet the router must decide
which next-hop (path) to use. This document gives an analysis of one
method for making that decision. The analysis includes the performance
of the algorithm and the disruption caused by changes to the set of
next-hops. This memo provides information for the Internet community.

2991 Thaler Nov 2000 Multipath Issues in Unicast
and Multicast Next-Hop
Selection

The effect of multipath routing on a forwarder is that the forwarder
potentially has several next-hops for any given destination and must use
some method to choose which next-hop should be used for a given data
packet. This memo summarizes current practices, problems, and
solutions. This memo provides information for the Internet community.

2990 Huston Nov 2000 Next Steps for the IP QoS

2968 Daigle Oct 2000 Mesh of Multiple DAG servers -
Results from TISDAG

This document defines the basic principle for establishing a mesh, that
interoperating services should exchange index objects, according to the
architecture of the mesh (e.g., hierarchical, or graph-like, preferably
without loops!). The Common Indexing Protocol (CIP) is designed to
facilitate the creation not only of query referral indexes, but also of
meshes of (loosely) affiliated referral indexes. The purpose of such a
mesh of servers is to implement some kind of distributed sharing of
indexing and/or searching tasks across different servers. So far, the
TISDAG (Technical Infrastructure for Swedish Directory Access Gateways)
project has focused on creating a single referral index; the obvious
next step is to integrate that into a larger set of interoperating
services. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
