The way I wrote the draft was more like "ok, let's tell the server that, if possible, I'd like to receive most on the trafic on this subflow, then this one, then this one". This is why I wrote "The priority field MUST be interpreted as an unsigned integer value with the highest numerical value being the most preferred one." While I agree that we should be as specific as possible, I wonder how we could be more explicit about this. Any idea? If we are too specific, like saying "always schedule on the highest priority subflow, until the windows is full, then skip to the next one" we are actually writing a strict priority scheduler, and I was hoping that we could leave the priority open to more creative ways of handling the priorities. It's a MAY because I'm not sure that making the respect of the priority a MUST would be interesting, for backward compatibility, but also because the priorities of one host could clash with the other's own interest. > If we leave the interpretation of the priority-bits open to the > implementation, hosts still cannot rely on getting a certain service by > the peer when set the priority bits. > > > Thoughts? > > > > Cheers, > Christoph > Cheers!
