<abstract>
<t>This memo describes extensions to theOSPFprotocol to support QoS routes.
The focus of this document is on the algorithms used to compute QoS routes and on the necessary modifications to OSPF
to support this function, e.g., the information needed, its format, how it is distributed, and how it is used by the QoS path selection process. Aspects related to how QoS routes are established and managed are also briefly discussed.
The goal of this document is to identify a framework and possible approaches to allow deployment of
QoS routing capabilities with the minimum possible impact to the existing routing infrastructure.</t>
<t>In addition, experience from an implementation of the proposed extensions in theGateD environment, along with performance measurements is presented.</t></abstract></front>
