Title: QoS-NSLP QSpec Template

This draft describes a QSpec template for the QoS NSIS Signaling Layer
Protocol (QoS NSLP) for signaling QoS reservations in the Internet. A QSpec
is transported in QoS-NSLP messages and is opaque to QoS NSLP. It contains
the QoS Signaling Model (QSM) Control Information and QoS Description
parameters. Control Information is, for example, the scope of a particular
QSpec. QoS Description parameters are primary input and output parameters
of the Resource Management Function. They include descriptions of the QoS
desired and the QoS reserved. QoS Description parameters can also be used
for collecting information about resource availability along the path and
for signaling a range of acceptable QoS. The QSpec template defines generic
parameters that are common to many QSMs. Particularly they are derived from
the IntServ and DiffServ QoS Models. They should be used by all QSMs if
applicable and must be understood by all QNEs. By identifying the generic
parameters we aim to ensure interoperability between different QSMs.
