1.  Introduction

   The Framework of Common Open Policy Service with Policy Provisioning
   (COPS-PR) Usage Feedback describes the overall approach to policy
   usage monitoring and reporting.  This document defines the specific
   Policy Information Base (PIB) framework for policy usage feedback.
   The policy classes for monitoring and reporting policy usage
   feedback, as well as policy classes for controlling reporting
   intervals, suspension, resumption and solicitation are defined.
