Why Signal QOS • In current implementations, QOS parameters are manually configured at the PE devices. This restricts configurations where QOS parameters are dynamically determined for some Attachment Circuits – ex. ATM SVCs • As the number of PWs grow, setting consistent QOS parameters at PE devices becomes cumbersome • With the use of auto-discovery of PW endpoints, admitting PW connections based on available resources is key • In Multi-segment PWs, each switching PE must know what the QOS requirements are in order to determine its eligibility as a suitable PW switching node • Need for QOS signaling for PW is undisputable Himanshu Shah, Ciena Corp
What is the Proposal • Tail-end PE prepares QOS-TLV based on local AC’s QOS information • QOS TLV is sent in optional parameter field of the Label Mapping message (as described in PWE3 Control draft) • Head-end may ignore or process and reciprocate with his local AC’s QOS • Code point for PW-STATUS TLV defined for receiver to reject if QOS parameters are not agreeable • QOS TLV can be exchanged in NOTIFICATION message as an update mechanism. • Backward compatible Himanshu Shah, Ciena Corp
Updates in current rev • Added Clarifications on why PW QOS is important • Added mechanisms to enable PW QOS signaling for multi-segmented PW. • Added Forward/Backward flag • Added Requested/Available flag • Ability to send more than one QOS TLVs Himanshu Shah, Ciena Corp

Applicability • Simple extension to current PW signaling • Backward compatible • Provides effective utilization of core resources • Allows disparate allocation of QOS at each site • Not dependent on transport tunnel technology (i.e. does not have to be RSVP-TE tunnel) • Offers Congestion notification mechanisms Himanshu Shah, Ciena Corp
Conclusion • Request to adopt the proposal as WG item • questions Himanshu Shah, Ciena Corp
