      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document proposes updates to the current MPLS LDP and MPLS RSVP
   messages for LSP establishment in order to support Differentiated
   Services (Diff-Serv) over ATM LSRs and Frame Relay LSRs.
 
   In brief, we propose that:
 
      - a set of PHBs that requires no misordering of packets in a
      microflow (even if the microflow contains packets for more than
      one PHB) be defined as a PHB forwarding class (PFC);
 
      - packets that belong to the same PFC and the same forwarding
      equivalence class (FEC) should be transported over the same ATM
      LSP or FR LSP;
 
      - for a given FEC, a separate ATM LSP or FR LSP should be
      established for each PFC, so that multiple ATM or FR LSPs are
      established in parallel for support of Diff-Serv;
 
      - among the set of PHBs transported over the same ATM LSP or FR
      LSP, the different PHBs&#x27; drop precedences be mapped into, and
      enforced via, the layer 2 specific selective discard mechanism
      (CLP bit with ATM, DE bit with FR).
