The inclusion of these details allows for the application of Quality of Service (QoS) classification and prioritization, and permits hardware acceleration of IP traffic flows encapsulated within other protocols such as Dual- Stack Lite, Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol version 3 (L2TPv3).}, }
