The IESG has received a request from the Transport Area Working Group WG (tsvwg) to consider the following document: - 'Aggregation of DiffServ Service Classes ' <draft-ietf-tsvwg-diffserv-class-aggr-04.txt> as an Informational RFC
DiffServ Pool 1 codepoints require Standards Action [1]. While this document doesn't define new ones (because there aren't any), it defines how one should configure the treatment for each and every Pool 1 codepoint in the network. Therefore in spirit it specifies DSCP codepoint behaviour and how those should be used.
As such I believe this document is inappropriate as an Informational RFC.
It is not clear that consensus in the IETF and deployments is strong enough to approve/recommend any specific treatment for standards track DSCP values.
If this work were to proceed, I suggest that first RFC 4594, which this document builds on, would attain IETF consensus by following the standards process for publication as a BCP.
