Abstract

Some networks require certain packet flows to be transported with greater priority than others. This draft defines a new PHB (Per Hop Behavior), the Multi-Level Expedited Forwarding (MLEF) PHB. RFC 3246 [3] defines the Expedited Forwarding PHB for applications requiring low latency, but with a single DSCP and treatment. This draft extends that concept and defines a PHB with multiple treatments for packet flows for applications requiring low latency and multiple priority levels.
