An
integral component of the Internet protocols is the routing function, which
determines the series of networks and gateways a packet will traverse in
passing from the source to the destination. Although there have been a number
of routing protocols used in the Internet, they share the idea that one route
should be selected out of all available routes based on minimizing some measure
of the route, such as delay. Recently, it has become important to select routes
in order to restrict the use of network resources to certain classes of
customers. These considerations, which are usually described as resource
policies, are poorly enforced by the existing technology in the Internet. This
document proposes an approach to integrating policy controls into the Internet.
