A Differentiated Services Code Point for Capacity-Admitted Traffic
RFC 5865, “A Differentiated Services Code Point for Capacity-Admitted Traffic”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2010 by F. Baker, J. Polk, M. Dolly. It updates RFC 4542, RFC 4594. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document requests one Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for a class of real-time traffic. This traffic class conforms to the Expedited Forwarding Per-Hop Behavior. This traffic is also admitted by the network using a Call Admission Control (CAC) procedure involving authentication, authorization, and capacity admission. This differs from a real-time traffic class that conforms to the Expedited Forwarding Per-Hop Behavior but is not subject to capacity admission or subject to very coarse capacity admission. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
