This document is concerned with specifying a framework for providing
policy-based control over admission control decisions. In particular,
it focuses on policy-based control over admission control using RSVP
as an example of the QoS signaling mechanism. Even though the focus of
the work is on RSVP-based admission control, the document outlines a
framework that can provide policy-based admission control in other QoS
contexts. We argue that policy-based control must be applicable to
different kinds and qualities of services offered in the same network
and our goal is to consider such extensions whenever possible.
