Control Management System Framework.  The architecture is designed 
to be modular, allowing future modification and addition to existing 
framework.  The major units of the architecture are the Policy 
Decision Points (PDP), the Access Edge Policy Enforcement Points 
(AE_PEP), the Core Policy Enforcement Points (C_PEP).  With Message 
Processing Subsystem, Security Subsystem, Framework Data Model 
Subsystem, and Application Specific Data Model Subsystem in each PDP 
and PEP. 
This document further provides a high level description of each unit 
and describes the relationship among each unit.  This document also 
describes how the subsystems within each unit interact with each 
other to provide the functionality of a Policy Control Management 
System.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
