Abstract
This draft specifies a set of Policy Rule Classes (PRC) for the
enforcement of an IP traffic engineering policy by COPS-PR ([2])-
capable routers. Instances of such classes reside in a virtual
information store, which is called the IP Traffic Engineering Policy
Information Base (IP TE PIB). The corresponding IP TE policy
provisioning data are intended for use by the COPS-PR IP TE Client-
Type([3]), and they complement the PRC classes that have been defined
in the Framework PIB ([4]).

1. Introduction
The deployment of value-added IP services over the Internet has
become one of the most competing challenges for service providers, as
well as a complex technical issue.
Within the context of network resource provisioning and allocation,
the COPS protocol and its usage for the support of Policy
Provisioning is one of the ongoing specification efforts of the
Resource Allocation Protocol (rap) Working Group of the IETF that
should help service providers in dynamically enforcing IP Traffic
Engineering (IP TE) policies.
An IP traffic engineering policy consists in appropriately
provisioning, and allocating/de-allocating, the switching and the
transmission resources of an IP network (i.e. the routers and the
links that connect these routers, respectively), according to Quality
of Service (QoS) requirements (e.g. rate, one-way delay, inter-packet
delay variation, etc.) that have been expressed by the customers who
can access such resources within the context of a given service
subscription procedure ([5]).
Thus, the enforcement of an IP traffic engineering policy yields the
introduction of a high level of automation for the dynamic
provisioning of the configuration data that will be taken into
account by the routers to select the appropriate IP routes.
Within the context of this document, the actual enforcement of an IP
traffic engineering policy is primarily based upon the activation of
both intra- and inter-domain dynamic routing protocols (e.g. [6],
[7]) that will be activated in the network to select, install,
maintain and possibly withdraw routes that will comply with the
above-mentioned QoS requirements and/or specific routing constraints,
depending on the type of traffic that will be conveyed along these
traffic engineered routes.
It is therefore necessary to provide the route selection processes
with the information that will reflect these QoS requirements, given
the dynamic routing protocols support traffic engineering
capabilities for the computation of such routes.
Some of these capabilities are currently being specified in [8] and
[9] for the OSPF (Open Shortest Path First, [6]) and the IS-IS
(Intermediate System to Intermediate System routing protocol, [10])
interior routing protocols respectively, while there is a comparable

effort for the BGP4 (Border Gateway Protocol, version 4) protocol, as
described in [11], for example.
To provide the route selection processes with the aforementioned
information, one possibility is to use the COPS-PR protocol, together
with a collection of policy provisioning data that will be stored in
a virtual information store, called a Policy Information Base.
This draft describes a collection of Policy Rule Classes that will be
stored and dynamically maintained in the IP TE PIB. The "rule" and
"role" concepts, which have been defined in [12], are adopted by this
document to distribute the IP traffic engineering policy provisioning
data over the COPS-PR protocol.
This document is organized as follows:
- Section 4 introduces some considerations about the scalability of
such a dynamic provisioning scheme,
- Section 5 provides an overview of the organization of the IP TE
PIB,
- Section 6 provides a description of the PRC classes of the IP TE
PIB, according to the semantics of the Structure of Policy
Provisioning Information (SPPI, [13]).
2. Conventions used in this document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [14].
3. Changes since the previous version
- The PIB has been slightly reorganized to introduce an additional
table for IS-IS-related policy provisioning data according to [9],
- The introduction has been slightly reworded,
- The references section has been updated.
4. Scalability considerations
The usage of the COPS-PR protocol for the dynamic enforcement of an
IP traffic engineering policy raises some scalability issues, as far
as the volume of configuration information that will be exchanged not
only between the routers themselves (because of the OSPF machinery
for example), but also between the PEP (Policy Enforcement Point)
components embedded in the routers and the PDP (Policy Decision
Point) they communicate with is concerned.
Jacquenet et al. Experimental - Expires Dec. 2002 [Page 3]
Internet Draft An IP Traffic Engineering PIB June 2002
While the concern strictly related to the design of a routing policy
is outside the scope of this document, the dynamic provisioning of
metric values as well as the reports related to the actual
enforcement of decisions taken by the PDP, deserve some elaboration.
4.1. A tentative metric taxonomy
The metrics that will be taken into account by the Shortest Path
First (SPF) algorithms for IP TE route calculation can be classified
into two basic categories:
1. Metrics assigned on a long-term basis, which basically consist
of the "usual" cost metrics, like those defined in [5]. These
metrics are those that are assigned on a (logical) interface
basis, and they aim at reflecting the link quality the
corresponding interface is attached to,
2. Metrics assigned on a (very) short term basis, which MAY consist
of the following information:
- The available bandwidth, (e.g. based upon the information
provided by SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol, [15])
counters like ifInOctets and ifOutOctets),
- The amount of bandwidth that can be reserved,
- The amount of reserved bandwidth.
While "long term" metric values should not change frequently by
definition, the "short term" metric values MAY vary like the ongoing
usage of the resources of the network.
Therefore, the dynamic computation of "short term" metric values
SHOULD remain in the magnitude of the corresponding SPF computation,
since newly assigned values yield the spontaneous generation of LSU
(Link State Update, [5]) messages. Thus, the traffic generated by the
IP traffic engineering provisioning data SHOULD be minimized
according to pre-computation engineering recommendations like those
described in [16].
4.2. Reporting the enforcement of an IP traffic engineering policy
Likewise, the actual enforcement of policy decisions implies the
activation of a reporting mechanism, as described in the COPS-PR
specification.
From this perspective, this draft assumes that the corresponding
reports sent by the PEP components of the routers towards the PDP
SHOULD include the traffic engineered routes that have been computed
by the routers, at least for network planning purposes: the service
subscription requests will be negotiated according to the knowledge
of the network resources that are actually available, and this
information includes the routes that could very well service the
aforementioned requirements, without any extra computation.
Jacquenet et al. Experimental - Expires Dec. 2002 [Page 4]
Internet Draft An IP Traffic Engineering PIB June 2002
Therefore, the traffic generated by the notification reports of the
installed routes SHOULD remain in the magnitude of the route
announcement procedures of the IP routing protocols machineries (like
OSPF), and it is assumed that the volume of the corresponding COPS-PR
traffic is also highly dependent on the pre-computation engineering
recommendations that have been mentioned in the above section 3.1.
In other words, this draft assumes that it is mainly the
responsibility of a network operator to enforce an IP traffic
engineering policy that should raise scalability issues (raised by
design), NOT the choice of activating the COPS-PR protocol as a means
to convey the corresponding IP TE provisioning data.
Nevertheless, it is obviously one of the most important concerns of
the ongoing specification and development effort that is partly
reflected by this draft. In particular, it is the intention of the
authors of this draft to later submit a publication that will aim at
depicting the simulation results obtained through the validation of
this COPS-PR architecture for the dynamic enforcement of an IP
traffic engineering policy within the context of an operational
service provider's environment.
5. PIB Overview
The dynamic enforcement of an IP traffic engineering policy relies on
the activation of intra- and inter-domain routing protocols that will
have the ability to take into account traffic engineering-related
information for the computation and the selection of routes, which
will comply as much as possible with the QoS requirements that have
been contractually defined between customers and service providers.
This traffic engineering-related information is basically composed of
metric values that will aim at reflecting an IP TE policy, as well as
the result of the enforcement of such a policy, so that customers and
providers can check anytime that the IP service is provisioned with
the appropriate (and contractual) levels of quality (which can be
expressed in terms of service availability, for example).
Therefore, the IP TE PIB mainly aims at:
- Storing and maintaining the configuration information that will be
used by the routers to compute and select the routes that will
comply with a collection of QoS requirements, such as the one-way
maximum transit delay, or the maximum inter-packet delay
variation,
- Storing and maintaining the information related to the traffic
engineered routes that have been installed in the routers'
Forwarding Information Bases, so that the service providers have
the permanent knowledge of the network's resources availability.

From this perspective, the IP TE PIB is currently organized into the
following provisioning classes:
1. The Forwarding Classes (ipTeFwClasses): the information
contained in these classes is meant to provide a detailed
description of the traffic-engineered routes. Only one table is
defined at the current stage of this draft: the IP TE Route
table which describes the information related to TE routes that
have been installed by the routers in their FIBs,
2. The Metrics Classes (ipTeMetricsClasses): the information
stored in the tables of this class is meant to provide a
description of the metric values that will be taken into
account by intra- and inter-domain routing protocols for the
computation and the selection of traffic-engineered routes. So
far, two groups have been identified: the first group is based
upon the traffic engineering extensions of intra-domain routing
protocols, the second group is related to QoS-related
information that can be conveyed in BGP-4 messages,
3. The Statistics Classes (ipTeStatsClasses): the information
contained in these classes is meant to provide statistic on the
enforcement of the TE policies.

7. Security Considerations
The traffic engineering policy provisioning data as they are
described in this PIB will be used for configuring the appropriate
network elements that will be involved in the dynamic enforcement of
these traffic engineering policies, by means of a COPS-PR
communication that will convey this information.
The function of dynamically provisioning network elements with such
configuration information implies that only an authorized COPS-PR
communication take place.
From this perspective, this draft does not introduce any additional
security issues other than those that have been identified in the
COPS-PR specification, and it is therefore recommended that the IPSec
Jacquenet et al. Experimental - Expires Dec. 2002 [Page 26]
Internet Draft An IP Traffic Engineering PIB June 2002
([19]) protocol suite be used to secure the above-mentioned
authorized communication.
