1. Road to general Dynamic Network Resource Reservation Protocol
Maxim Grigoriev, FERMILAB

2. Motivation
Several R&D projects dedicated to dynamic L2/L3 circuits reservations and QOS management are coming to production – OSCARS, TeraPaths, LamdaStation, DICE, DRAGON…etc.
All deal with the same pieces of network information ( flows, DSCP )
Different implementations, different protocols, mostly incompatible AAA, BUT most of them implemented as Java webservice and trying to be interoperable
Generalized interface model will benefit everyone and facilitate integration or at least inter-communication between them
Some attempts to integrate have been taken

3. Steps to be taken XML schemas for dynamic reservation messaging flow
Single repository and collaborative site for all definitions and API documentation
Unified data model
Transparent AAA
