Hi,
I am a researcher at the Universita' Campus Bio-Medico of Rome. We are developing a test-bed for QoS support on wireless access network. The basic idea is to have a mobility manager on mobile stations that sends QoS request to a control entity of the Wireless AN. The QoS information is used by the control entity to set 802.11e (802.11 + QoS support) parameters and decide to which sending queue each flow belongs.
QoS NSLP is just the tool we needed to send QoS reservation on the Wireless AN, so we are very glad that an open source implementation already exists.
However, the man page for nsis-qosd, in the section KNOWN BUGS, reports that the QSPEC support is still missing. I would like to ask whether you are planning to implement it soon, or otherwise if you have any hint/suggestion to implement it.
Thank you in advance,
Filippo Cacace

There will be a new beta/developer version available soon, which has support for a simple RMF (Resource Management Function), as well as a new QoS Client API (to trigger the QoS NSLP to reserve resources) and support for basic QSPEC (e.g. bandwidth).
We will announce it here on the list.
