Configuration Guidelines for DiffServ Service Classes
RFC 4594, “Configuration Guidelines for DiffServ Service Classes”, is an Informational document published in August 2006 by J. Babiarz, K. Chan, F. Baker. It has since been updated by RFC 5865, RFC 8622. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes service classes configured with Diffserv and recommends how they can be used and how to construct them using Differentiated Services Code Points (DSCPs), traffic conditioners, Per-Hop Behaviors (PHBs), and Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanisms. There is no intrinsic requirement that particular DSCPs, traffic conditioners, PHBs, and AQM be used for a certain service class, but as a policy and for interoperability it is useful to apply them consistently. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
