Abstract
This document defines a set of PRovisioning Classes (PRCs) and
textual conventions that are common to all clients that provision
policy using Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol for
Provisioning.
Structure of Policy Provisioning Information (SPPI) describes a
structure for specifying policy information that can then be
transmitted to a network device for the purpose of configuring policy
at that device. The model underlying this structure is one of well-
defined (PRCs) and instances of these classes (PRIs) residing in a
virtual information store called the Policy Information Base (PIB).
One way to provision policy is by means of the (COPS) protocol with
the extensions for provisioning. This protocol supports multiple
clients, each of which may provision policy for a specific policy
domain such as QoS, virtual private networks, or security.
As described in COPS usage for Policy Provisioning (COPS-PR), each
client supports a non-overlapping and independent set of PIB modules.
However, some PRovisioning Classes are common to all subject-
categories (client-types) and need to be present in each.
