A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the DiffServ Applied to Real-time Transports Working Group of the IETF. Title : Differentiated Services (DiffServ) and Real-time CommunicHtion Authors : David Black Paul Jones Filename : draft-ietf-dart-dscp-rtp-04.txt Pages : 26 Date : 2014-08-25 Abstract: This document describes the interaction between Differentiated Services (DiffServ) network quality of service (QoS) functionality and real-time network communication, including communication based on the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). DiffServ is based on network nodes applying different forwarding treatments to packets whose IP headers are marked with different DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs). WebRTC applications, as well as some conferencing applications, have begun using the Session Description Protocol (SDP) bundle negotiation mechanism to send multiple traffic streams with different QoS requirments using the same network 5-tuple. Use of different DSCPs to obtain different QoS treatments within a single network 5-tuple, the results (e.g., reordering) may cause transport protocol interactions, particularly with congestion control functionality. In addition, DSCP markings may be changed or removed between the traffic source and destination. This document covers the implications of these DiffServ aspects for real-time network communication, including WebRTC.
