The IETF has chartered the Differentiated Service WG to define the differentiated services architecture and a common language for differentiated services. In parallel, the IETF RSVP Admission Policy (RAP) WG has defined the COPS (Common Open Policy Service) protocol {[}COPS{]}. This document describes enhancements to the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol to support policy services in a Differentiated Services (DiffServ) environment. Further modifications to COPS for DiffServ may be proposed in the future, but what is presented here is thought to be the minimum necessary additions.}, }
