[e2e] Admission Control and Policing in MPLS

[Stephen Suryaputra]

Fahad,

I don't think admission control is standardized, even for ATM. What I meant
by admission here is the decision process on accept/reject the flow during
signaling phase (or provisioning).

For policing, it can be done by using single-rate or dual-rate three color
marker (RFC 2697 and 2698) that are defined for diffserv. Since mpls edge 
device typically supports diffserv, these policing mechanisms are pretty
common.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I would like to know the mechanism employed in MPLS networks for
admission control and the process of subsequently policing the flow in
order to ensure that it does not violate the SLA.

Any help or pointers to any standardized requirements would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Fahad
