      <abstract>
	 <t>   Wireless networks like 5G cellular or Wi-Fi experience significant
   variations in link capacity over short intervals due to wireless
   channel conditions, interference, or the end-user&#x27;s movement.  These
   variations in capacity take place in the order of hundreds of
   milliseconds and is much too fast for end-to-end congestion signaling
   by itself to convey the changes.  Media applications on the other
   hand demand both high throughput and low latency, and are able to
   dynamically adjust the size and quality of a stream to match
   available network bandwidth.  However, catering to such media flows
   over a radio link where the capacity changes rapidly requires the
   buffers to be managed carefully.  This draft proposes additional
   information about the media transported in each packet to manage the
   buffers and optimize the scheduling of radio resources.  The set of
   information proposed here includes relative importance of the packet,
   burst length and timestamp to be conveyed by the media application in
   a header extension.  This can be used to provide the wireless network
   the flexibility to prioritize packets that are essential when the
   radio capacity is temporarily low, defer packets that can tolerate
   some additional delay, or even drop packets selectively in more
   extreme conditions.

   Another aspect considered here is the means by which the media packet
   information is transported.  Potential solutions include carrying
   this information in Media over QUIC extension headers, UDP options,
   or in a MASQUE encapsulation between the application server and
   wireless network entity.
