COPS Highlights and Literature

EION Open IP Environment COPS, COPS-PR, and COPS-RSVP modules demonstrate the following key features:

  • COPS-PR and COPS-RSVP protocol implementations communicate with the Open IP Environment COPS Common Client through an API library provided by the COPS Common Client.
  • COPS-PR allows you to pass Policy Information Base (PIB) information inside the COPS defined ‘Request message’.
  • COPS-PR interacts with the Forwarding Plane through a Policy Agent (PA). The PA allows for any ‘stateful’ interaction between PIB and the Forwarding plane and shields the Open IP Environment FPI APIs independent from the IB standard evolution.
  • COPS-PR allows provisioning of Open IP Environment QoS filters.
  • COPS-RSVP allows the implementation of dynamic admission control to DiffServ works using RSVP Signaling (RFC 2205)
  • COPS-RSVP client interacts with the RSVP protocol engine through the Policy Manager APIs.
  • Provides support for POLICY_DATA objects for policy control mechanisms.
  • COPS-RSVP client implements the COPS-RSVP protocol as defined in RFC 2749.
  • COPS-RSVP allows the following RSVP objects as Replacement Data in decisions: DCLASS, TCLASS, POLICY_DATA and ERROR_SPEC. FLOWSPEC or other RSVP objects are not supported.
  • COPS-RSVP implementation supports the following Context Object requests: “Resource-Allocation” and “Outgoing-Message” but ignores decisions regarding the “Incoming-Message” request.
