<abstract>
<t>
   QoS-based routing has been recognized as a missing piece in the

   evolution of QoS-based service offerings in the Internet. This

   document describes some of the QoS-based routing issues and

   requirements, and proposes a framework for QoS-based routing in the

   Internet. This framework is based on extending the current Internet

   routing model of intra and interdomain routing to support QoS.
