DART - DSCP Applied to Real-time Transports

DiffServ code points (DSCP) can be used in some situations to provide quality of service (QoS). Packets with different marketings can be reordered, which can cause poor interaction with a transport that is responsive to reordering. When RTP streams or other real-time media (sub-)flows are used with different DSCP values with the same transport 5-tuple, there are interactions with the transports. There are also environments where the DSCP markings are removed or remarked.

This WG will write a document that explains the limitations that exist with DSCP when used with RTP in general as well in the specific RTCWeb cases. The WG will coordinate with relevant WGs, including TSVWG, AVTCORE, MMUSIC, CLUE, and RTCWEB.

Milestones:
Aug 2014 - Send Information draft to IESG on DSCP usage consideration
