Hi,
 
I have been reading draft-eckel-aeon-use-cases-01, and I was wondering: is
"Scavenger class" the same as "Less than best effort" traffic, as defined in
[1]?:
 
"The usual definition of the LBE service is the following: in the event of
congestion, all LBE traffic must be discarded before any BE packet is
dropped."
 
 
Jose
