Hi Dave, all, message lost on my inbox -- no mean to get down to 0-latency in this queue :/ I just react on a point I would say that any technology that automatically reduces mean latency reduces the need to manage mean latency. sure, reducing latency (e.g.LEDBAT) is better than

OK - so this is within ISP networks. Could this be avoided by mapping the DSCPs on entry and exit of their network? Do you know about CS1 within ISP networks? Or any impact at the edge? Simon On 5/24/2015 11:33 AM, Mikael Abrahamsson wrote: On Sun, 24 May 2015, Simon Barber wrote: My

Hi Mikael, I can't find reference to DSCP 10 or 000110, where are they defined? I know the title 'assured forwarding' seems to imply better than best effort, but I think this is a mistake for AF1 - which seems to be recommended for bulk traffic that is not latency sensitive. You can't

I do like the idea of introducting a new 'low priority' code point, were the top 3 bits are 0, so that legacy equipment that makes the wrong interpretation (higher priority) treats the traffic as BE. There is a mess of different interpretations out there, and the downside would be legacy
