Abstract

This memo proposes a service-agnostic semantics for Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP). It disassociates DSCP from classification of service classes. Instead, individual packets are marked dynamically in a Quality-of-Experience (QoE)-aware manner. Such a more flexible use of Differentiated Services (DiffServ) involves interactions with transport protocols on application hosts. Meanwhile, the semantics adds no complexity to traffic conditioning and Per-Hop-Behavior (PHB) enforcement within DiffServ network domain.
