Group (SMRG) on QoS in the IP Network

The guiding principles in the design of IP network management were
simplicity and no centralized control. The best effort service
paradigm was a result of the original management principles and the
other way around. New methods to distinguish the service given to
one set of packets or flows relative to another are well underway.
However, as IP networks evolve the management approach of the past
may not apply to the QoS-capable network envisioned by some for the
future. We examine some of the areas of impact that QoS is likely
to have on management and look at some questions that remain to be
addressed.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
