This document proposes a 'two-plane three-tier' framework structure 
for NSIS signaling. In this framework the Access Networks are 
connected with wired backbone through default routers. It is 
assumed that one can do a competent job of network configuration & 
provisioning in the backbone network, and just keeps backbone 
networks stupid simple.Resource policies which are implemented in 
inter-NSIS Domains and intra-NSIS Domain, NSIS Signaling and NSIS 
negotiations are in the control plane. User data is transported in 
the transport plane. COPS/Diameter is used for exchanging resource 
policies.  
Three-Tier NSIS signalings mean that NSIS signaling should be done 
in three levels. The first level is Inter-NSIS Domain NSIS 
signaling across neighboring NSIS Domains, and the second level is 
Intra-NSIS Domain NSIS signaling inside each NSIS Domain while the 
third level is end-to-edge NSIS signaling and end-to-end NSIS 
signaling. The aggregate traffic crossing NSIS Domain borders is 
served according to relatively stable, long-lived bilateral 
agreements. End-to-end QoS support is achieved through the 
concatenation of such bilateral agreements.

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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
