Abstract
This memo specifies enhancements to the General Switch Management
Protocol (GSMP) [RFC 1987]. The major enhancement is the addition of
Quality of Service (QoS) messages. Other improvements have been made
to the protocol resulting from operational experience. GSMP is a
general purpose protocol to control an ATM switch. It allows a
controller to establish and release connections across the switch;
add and delete leaves on a multicast connection; manage switch ports;
request configuration information; and request statistics.
