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.
