      <abstract>
	 <t>This document proposes text aiming at providing clarification to RFC
2598. The primary motivation for this draft is that the definition
of EF PHB given in RFC 2598 does not match the intuition of the EF
PHB, and has been determined to be unimplementable in a manner
compliant with the definition. In particular, no work-conserving
scheduler, including all of the schedulers listed in the
Implementation Examples section of RFC 2598, can comply with the
definition given in that RFC.
This draft gives a rigorous definition of EF PHB which in our
opinion preserves the spirit of the EF PHB as intended by RFC 2598
while allowing a number of reasonable compliant implementations. The
document also provides implementation guidance and lists several
possible implementation examples which conform to the definition
given in this draft.
