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
