I think the guy who wrote the spec mentioned how to handle extensions which are in the pipeline already, and has a kind word for QoS in particular. > > *Changes to the QoS API spec: scoping into bandwidth limiting* > At this point the concentration is on the API and implementation > of bandwidth limiting. > > However it is important to keep the design easily extensible for some next > steps > like traffic classification and marking > *.* > > This is important for architecting your data model, RPC interfaces, and to some extent even the control plane. >From a user perspective (and hence API design) the question to ask would be whether a generic QoS API (for instance based on generic QoS policies which might have a different nature) is better than an explicit ones - where you would have distinct URIs for rate limiting, traffic shaping, marking, etc. I am not sure of what could be the right answer here. I tend to think distinct URIs are more immediate to use. On the other hand users will have to learn more APIs, but even with a generic framework users will have to learn how to create policies for different types of QoS policies. > > *Changes to the QoS API spec: modeling of rules (class hierarchy) > (Guarantee split out)* > There is a QoSPolicy which is composed of different QoSRules, there is > a discussion of splitting the rules into different types like > QoS<Type>Rule. > (This in order to support easy extension of this model by adding new type > of rules which extend the possible parameters) > > Plugins can then separate optional aspects into separate rules. > Any feedback on this approach is appreciated. > > *Discuss multiple API end points (per rule type) vs single* > > > here, the topic name was incorrect, where I said API end points, we were > meaning URLs or REST resources..
