STANAG 4711

STANAG 4711 interoperability point quality of service (IP QoS)

Vendors and integrators building NATO Protected Core Networking equipment, and the programmes that specify Quality of Service compliance against it.

STANAG 4711 sets the Quality of Service model and traffic classes that NATO's Protected Core Networking must comply with. NATO has not released it publicly; this page describes it from two public NATO publications that cite it.

NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.

What it is

STANAG 4711, Interoperability point quality of service (IP QoS), is at edition 1, promulgated on 25 January 2018 under NATO's DPC, DPC, CaP1, N&S CaT committee, and it covers the publication AComP-4711. NATO marks it NATO UNCLASSIFIED but has not released it publicly, so this page describes it from two public NATO publications that cite it: AComP-5639 and AComP-5640 (the Protected Core Networking (PCN) Deployable Specifications).

Where it is cited

Both publications say that the supported traffic classes for service level agreements are defined in STANAG 4711, and both require that "All service classes shall adhere to the classes listed in STANAG 4711". Both also say that STANAG 4711 provides guidance for the performance targets related to an instance of PCore, and that "STANAG 4711 and PCore instance specific QoS policy gives guidance on how to select proper service class and marking for several applications and services".

For both PCN-1 and PCN-2 interfaces, AComP-5639 alone requires that "PCN shall comply with the QoS Model as reflected in and mandated by STANAG 4711". Where a PCS does not support that model, the STANAG 4711 model is to be mapped onto the model the PCS does support, and the mapping reflected in the respective service level agreements. It also requires that, if a connection is established before its full service level agreement is negotiated, all traffic is marked as Low-Priority Data (SC0), as defined in STANAG 4711.

Neither publication describes STANAG 4711's own contents beyond citing it this way.

How we help

A supplier bound by STANAG 4711 through a contract holds the obtained text through its national authority. In ComplyTrain you record the requirements that apply to you as your own requirements, give each an owner, and keep the evidence that shows you meet them against each one.
