As RFC 4412 makes perfectly clear, the RPH serves a dual role of signalling
priority across an IP network (e.g. from an originating circuit switched
access network to a terminating circuit switched access network) as well as
signalling  priority within the IP network.

For each of the namespaces described in RFC 4412, the number of priority
values (5 in most cases, 6 in one) is driven by the former role, based on
the number of priority values in use, or being considered, in the access
network priority scheme.

The issue of how many priority levels to differentiate WITHIN the IP
network is an issue currently being addressed by vendors and providers.
