An increasing demand for Quality of
Service on the Internet has led to various developments in that area.
Differentiated Services is a technique to provide such Quality of
Service in an efficient and scalable way.
Management of computer networks involves both monitoring of running
services as well as the configuration of those services. On the
Internet, the SNMP protocol is used to retrieve and set variables in a
MIB. In order to facilitate the management of routers equipped with
Differentiated Services, the IETF has created the DiffServ MIB (which
is still work in progress).
This assignment involves building a prototype implementation of the
DiffServ MIB using a router running the GNU/Linux operating system,
using the Network Traffic Control facilities in the kernel and the
net-snmp SNMP agent software.
The IETF diffserv WG is still working on the DiffServ MIB. The
result of implementation work is valuable to the MIB authors as it may
help in improving the MIB specification. Therefore anyresults should be
reported back to the IETF
