Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This memo analyzes provider-to-provider QoS agreements suitable for a
   global QoS-enabled Internet.  It defines terminology relevant to
   inter-domain QoS models.  It proposes a new concept denoted by Meta-
   QoS-Class (MQC).  This concept could potentially drive and federate
   the way QoS inter-domain relationships are built between providers.
   It opens up new perspectives for a QoS-enabled Internet that retains,
   as much as possible, the openness of the existing best-effort
   Internet.
