Vito,
Please reference the diffserv-pib-03 draft, specifically Section 9.
Subect Category Considerations
The numbering space used for the DiffServ PIB, as indicated by the
SUBJECT-CATEGORIES clause, will be assigned by the Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority (IANA). Notice the numbering space used by SUBJECT-
CATEGORIES maps to the Client Type numbering space in [COPS-PR]. This
relationship is detailed in section 7.1 of [SPPI]. Due to the fact that
Client Type value of 1 has already been used by [COPS-RSVP], the
numbering space for SUBJECT-CATEGORIES will need to start with the value
of 2.
COPS-PR can support multiple COPS Client-Type values. The Client-Type specified for QoS is 2.
Regards,
Tina Iliff

I have a doubt about this: reading the entire COPS-PR RFC and especially
the "IANA Consideration" section we find that:
9. IANA Considerations
COPS for Policy Provisioning follows the same IANA considerations for
COPS objects as the base COPS protocol [COPS]. COPS-PR has defined
one additional Decision Flag value of 0x02, extending the COPS base
protocol only by this one value. No new COPS Client- Types are
defined by this document.
The last sentence explicitly says that no new Client-type are defined, so:
Q1: what document specifies the client-type value of 2 ?
Q2: if not specified, what Client-type COPS-PR clients have to use?
