This document describes a two-rate, three-color marker that has been
in use for data services including Frame Relay services.  This marker
can be used for metering per-flow traffic in the emerging IP and L2
VPN services.  The marker defined here is different from previously
defined markers in the handling of the in-profile traffic.
Furthermore, this marker doesn't impose peak-rate shaping
requirements on customer edge (CE) devices.
