This document defines a general use Differentiated Services (DS)
Per-Hop-Behavior (PHB) Group called Assured Forwarding (AF).  The AF
PHB group provides delivery of IP packets in four independently
forwarded AF classes.  Within each AF class, an IP packet can be
assigned one of three different levels of drop precedence.  A DS node
does not reorder IP packets of the same microflow if they belong to
the same AF class.
