Re: [NSIS] QSPEC document



I still do not get your statement.  I need more clarifications.

If we want to additional functionality to cope with a proxy and want to
add functionality to indicate for the end-point that a proxy are answering the the messages sequence, this will require a new object with control bits that can be set by the proxy.
This indication can be used by the initiating party to add more infomration that makes the proxy operation better. Is this ok within the your statement or not ?

2) Can we indicate add control infomration into NSIS to select ECN-marking or indicate if the marking are not supported by the router????

3) Is it allowed to add explicit route object as they have made within RSVP for traffic engineeering ???

4) Is it allowed to extend the protocol to establish tunnels with NSIS as they do with RSVP-TE ?
I consider in this case that different kinds of tunnels should be possible so a number of control bits are required.

I agree.  What this is saying is that QOSM specifications can define
whatever new RMF functionality they wish, but must not define new QoS
NSLP signaling functionality and should not modify QoS NSLP state
machine and operation.
