This document describes a preemption priority policy element for use
by signaled policy based admission protocols (such as [RSVP] and
[COPS]). 
 
Preemption priority defines a relative importance (rank) within the
set of flows competing to be admitted into the network. Rather than 
admitting flows by order of arrival (First Come First Admitted)
network nodes may consider priorities to preempt some previously
admitted low priority flows in order to make room for a newer,
high-priority flow. 

This document is a product of the Resource Allocation Protocol Working
Group of the IETF.  

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
