The Next Steps in Signaling working group is considering protocols for
signaling information about a data flow along its path in the network. The
NSIS suite of protocols is envisioned to support various signaling
applications that need to install and/or manipulate such state in the
network. Based on on existing work on signaling requirements, this document
proposes an architectural framework for these signaling protocols. This
document provides a model for the network entities that take part in such
signaling, and the relationship between signaling and the rest of network
operation. We decompose the overall signaling protocol suite into a generic
(lower) layer, with separate upper layers for each specific signaling
application.
