Overview[1]#

COPS Usage for Policy Provisioning is described in RFC 3084 and describes the use of the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol for support of policy provisioning (COPS-PR).

The specification is independent of the type of policy being provisioned (QoS, Security, etc.) but focuses on the mechanisms and conventions used to communicate provisioned information between PDPs and PEPs.

The protocol extensions described in this document do not make any assumptions about the policy data model being communicated, but describe the message formats and objects that carry the modeled policy data.
