The flexibility and the wide deployment of IP technologies have driven the development of IP-based solutions for wireless networks, like IPbased Radio Access Networks (RAN). These networks have different characteristics when compared to traditional IP networks, imposing very strict requirements on Quality of Service (QoS) solutions, such as fast dynamic resource reservation, simplicity, scalability, low cost, severe congestion handling and easy implementation. A new QoS framework, called Resource Management in Differentiated Services (RMD), aims to satisfy these requirements. RMD has been introduced in recent publications. It extends the IETF Differentiated Services (Diffserv) architecture with new admission control and resource reservation concepts in a scalable way. This paper gives an overview of the RMD functionality and its performance behavior. Furthermore, it shows that the mean processing delay of RMD signaling reservation messages is more than 1330 times smaller then the mean processing delay of RSVP signaling reservation messages.

AbstractThis document is written for readers interested in the Internet Standard Management Framework and its protocol, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). In particular, it offers guidance in the effective use of SNMP for configuration management. This information is relevant to vendors that build network elements, management application developers, and those that acquire and deploy this technology in their networks.
