Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) Boundary-Node Behavior
for the Single Marking (SM) Mode of Operation
Abstract
Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) is a means for protecting the
quality of service for inelastic traffic admitted to a Diffserv
domain. The overall PCN architecture is described in RFC 5559. This
memo is one of a series describing possible boundary-node behaviors
for a PCN-domain. The behavior described here is that for a form of
measurement-based load control using two PCN marking states: not-
marked and excess-traffic-marked. This behavior is known informally
as the Single Marking (SM) PCN-boundary-node behavior.
Status of This Memo
This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is
published for examination, experimental implementation, and
evaluation.
This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF
community. It has received public review and has been approved for
publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Not
all documents approved by the IESG are a candidate for any level of
Internet Standard; see Section 2 of RFC 5741.
