1. Introduction
1. 介绍

This document summarizes the use of Diameter codes in a newly defined realization of a specification for authorizing network QoS resources and policy enforcement [Q.3303.3]. A new pair of Command Codes have been assigned by IANA. This document summarizes the uses of newly defined Diameter codes (Command Codes, AVP, vendor-specific application id). When combined with the Diameter Base protocol, this application's specification [Q.3303.3] satisfies the requirements of [Y.2111] of the International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) to send a request and receive a response for controlling the policy enforcement.

本文档总结了Diameter代码在新定义的授权网络QoS资源和策略实施规范实现中的使用[Q.3303.3]。IANA分配了一对新的命令代码。本文档总结了新定义直径代码(命令代码、AVP、供应商特定应用程序id)的使用。当与Diameter基本协议结合使用时,本应用程序规范[Q.3303.3]满足国际电信联盟-电信标准化部门(ITU-T)的[Y.2111]要求,以发送请求并接收响应以控制策略实施。

The Diameter realization of this application assumes the use of the Diameter Base protocol, as per RFC 3588, and extends it only for a specific application using a vendor-id (ITU-T), a vendor-specific application ID (16777256), a new Command Code (315), and new attribute-value pairs (AVPs), which are defined in the vendor-specific namespace.

根据RFC 3588,该应用程序的Diameter实现假定使用Diameter基本协议,并仅使用供应商id(ITU-T)、供应商特定应用程序id(16777256)、新命令代码(315)和供应商特定命名空间中定义的新属性值对(AVP)将其扩展到特定应用程序。

This application is used to authorize network QoS resources and policy enforcement (including the amount of bandwidth, QoS class, and traffic flow processing) as an extension of the Diameter application [RFC4006]. The request is based on the Diameter extensibility discussions in the DIME WG that led to the conclusion that it is better to define new Command Codes whenever the ABNF of a command is modified by adding, removing, or semantically changing a required AVP in order to avoid interoperability problems. The document is utilizing authorization and accounting functionality, and the entire exchange is related to users utilizing applications that require QoS treatment. This approach is consistent with the practice and experience gained since the publication of [RFC3588] (see for example [RFC5224]), which is now under revision by the DIME Working Group who will provide a revised set of recommendations and procedures for IANA considerations [DIME].

此应用程序用于授权网络QoS资源和策略实施(包括带宽量、QoS等级和流量处理),作为Diameter应用程序的扩展[RFC4006]。该请求基于DIME WG中关于DIAMER扩展性的讨论,该讨论得出结论,即无论何时通过添加、删除或语义更改所需AVP来修改命令的ABNF,最好定义新的命令代码,以避免互操作性问题。该文档正在利用授权和记帐功能,整个exchange与使用需要QoS处理的应用程序的用户相关。该方法与[RFC3588](例如参见[RFC5224])出版以来的实践和经验相一致,DIME工作组目前正在对其进行修订,该工作组将为IANA考虑事项[DIME]提供一套修订后的建议和程序。

2. Terminology
2. 术语

In the base Diameter specification [RFC3588], Section 1.4 defines most of the terminology used in this document. Additionally, the terms and acronyms defined in Section 3 and Section 4 of [Q.3303.3] are used in this document.

在底座直径规范[RFC3588]中,第1.4节定义了本文件中使用的大部分术语。此外,本文件中使用了[Q.3303.3]第3节和第4节中定义的术语和首字母缩略词。

3. Diameter ITU-T Rw Policy Enforcement Interface
3. Diameter ITU-T Rw策略实施接口

The Rw interface is used for information exchange to apply policy decisions between the Policy Decision Point (PDP, i.e., in the ITU-T term, Policy Decision Functional Entity (PD-FE)) and the Policy Enforcement Point (PEP, i.e., in the ITU-T term, Policy Enforcement Functional Entity (PE-FE)).

Rw接口用于信息交换,以在策略决策点(PDP,即在ITU-T术语中的策略决策功能实体(PD-FE))和策略实施点(PEP,即在ITU-T术语中的策略实施功能实体(PE-FE))之间应用策略决策。

The interface allows the PDP to push the authorized admission decisions to the PEP. It also allows the PEP to request the authorization of admission decisions from the PDP when path-coupled resource reservation mechanisms are in use. The main information conveyed by the Rw interface is:

该接口允许PDP将授权的准入决定推送到PEP。当使用路径耦合资源预留机制时,它还允许PEP从PDP请求许可决定的授权。Rw接口传递的主要信息是:

o Resources reservation and/or allocation requests for media flows;

o 媒体流的资源预留和/或分配请求;

o QoS handling requests such as packet marking and policing;

o QoS处理请求,如数据包标记和策略;

o Gate control (opening/closing) requests for a media flow;

o 介质流的闸门控制(打开/关闭)请求;

o NAPT and NAT traversal requests for the necessary address mapping information;

o NAPT和NAT遍历请求必要的地址映射信息;

o Resource usage information requests and reports for media flows.

o 媒体流的资源使用信息请求和报告。

The detailed descriptions of the Diameter Policy Enforcement interface ITU-T Rw can be found in Section 5 of [Q.3303.3].

Diameter策略实施接口ITU-T Rw的详细说明见[Q.3303.3]的第5节。
