Abstract
This document, the Structure of Policy Provisioning Information
(SPPI), defines the adapted subset of SNMP's Structure of Management
Information (SMI) used to write Policy Information Base (PIB)
modules.
RFC 2748 defines the COPS protocol, and RFC 2749 describes how the
COPS protocol is used to provide for the outsourcing of policy
decisions for RSVP. Another usage of the COPS protocol, for the
provisioning of policy, is introduced in RFC 3084. In this
provisioning model, the policy information is viewed as a collection
of Provisioning Classes (PRCs) and Provisioning Instances (PRIs)
residing in a virtual information store, termed the Policy
Information Base (PIB). Collections of related Provisioning Classes
are defined in a PIB module.
