The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Aggregation of DiffServ Service Classes ' <draft-ietf-tsvwg-diffserv-class-aggr-07.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Transport Area Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Magnus Westerlund and Lars Eggert. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tsvwg-diffserv-class-aggr-07.txt Technical Summary In the core of a high capacity network, service differentiation may still be needed to support applications' utilization of the network. Applications with similar traffic characteristics and performance requirements are mapped into diffserv service classes based on end- to-end behavior requirements of the applications as indicated by Diffserv Service Classes [5]. However, some network segments may be configured in such a way that a single forwarding treatment may satisfy the traffic characteristics and performance requirements of two or more service classes. In these cases, it may be desirable to aggregate two or more Diffserv Service Classes [5] into a single forwarding treatment. This document provides guidelines for the aggregation of Diffserv Service Classes [5] into forwarding treatments. Working Group Summary There are consensus in the WG to publish this document. Protocol Quality There has been review from interested parties, including some with relation to ISPs. Personnel Responsible document shepherd and AD was Magnus Westerlund. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
