	 <t>   This document defines a limited common set of Diffserv PHBs and
   codepoints (DSCPs) to be applied at (inter)connections of two
   separately administered and operated networks, and explains how this
   approach can simplify network configuration and operation.  Many
   network providers operate MPLS using Treatment Aggregates for traffic
   marked with different Diffserv Per Hop Behaviors, and use MPLS for
   interconnection with other networks.  This document offers a simple
   interconnection approach that may simplify operation of Diffserv for
   network interconnection among providers that use MPLS and apply the
   Short-Pipe tunnel mode.  While motivated by the requirements of MPLS
   network operators that use Short-Pipe tunnels, this document is
   applicable to other networks, both MPLS and non-MPLS.
