The objective of Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) is to protect the
quality of service (QoS) of inelastic flows within a Diffserv domain.
On every link in the PCN domain, the overall rate of the PCN-traffic
is metered, and PCN-packets are appropriately marked when certain
configured rates are exceeded. Egress nodes provide decision points
with information about the PCN-marks of PCN-packets which allows them
to take decisions about whether to admit or block a new flow request,
and to terminate some already admitted flows during serious pre-
congestion.
This document specifies how PCN-marks are to be encoded into the IP
header by re-using the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
codepoints within a PCN-domain. This encoding builds on the baseline
encoding of RFC5696 and provides for three different PCN marking
states using a single DSCP: not-marked (NM), threshold-marked (ThM)
and excess-traffic-marked (ETM). Hence, it is called the 3-in-1 PCN
encoding.
