Abstract

Signaling layer protocols specified within the Next Steps inSignaling (NSIS) framework may rely on the General Internet SignalingTransport (GIST) protocol to handle authorization. Still, thesignaling layer protocol above GIST itself may require separateauthorization to be performed when a node receives a request for acertain kind of service or resources. This document presents ageneric model and object formats for session authorization within theNSIS signaling layer protocols. The goal of session authorization isto allow the exchange of information between network elements inorder to authorize the use of resources for a service and tocoordinate actions between the signaling and transport planes.This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internetcommunity.
