Why make a distinction between "Standard Service Class" and "Low Priority
Data"?

In fact, it seems the most useful outcome of this paper is to help service
providers standardize across and between their networks as to service class
treatment for different service types. For this reason, it seems the best
thing to do is, rather than to create these semi-artificial classes and
sub-classes, to get quite specific about how to mark each specific service,
e.g. IP telephony, SNA, HTTP, FTP, unidirectional video, interactive
multimedia, etc. You have gone part of the way to this goal, but have put
what seems to be an artificial middle step into the process... These service
classes. I can see why you would do this in an attempt to consolidate the
classes for ease of management, but by the time you are done, you have so
many classes and variations that you have defeated this purpose anyway. And
the net goal of standardizing treatment across the network is still not
achieved because of the multiple options for several of the services.

Just some thoughts on a single, careful reading.

Also, there is some dumb editorial stuff:
(1) Do a lookup for the word "respectfully" and make sure you don't really
mean "respectively".
(2) Look up "sufficed" and replace with "sufficient".
(3) You also have a tendency to use "which" instead of "that"
(4) There is an instance of using "then" instead of "than".

Sorry I'm too lazy to be specific about where (it's late).
