Abstract
This memo describes a framework for supporting IETF Integrated
Services on shared and switched LAN infrastructure. It includes
background material on the capabilities of IEEE 802 like networks
with regard to parameters that affect Integrated Services such as
access latency, delay variation and queuing support in LAN switches.
It discusses aspects of IETF's Integrated Services model that cannot
easily be accommodated in different LAN environments. It outlines a
functional model for supporting the Resource Reservation Protocol
(RSVP) in such LAN environments. Details of extensions to RSVP for
use over LANs are described in an accompanying memo [14]. Mappings
of the various Integrated Services onto IEEE 802 LANs are described
in another memo [13].
