Brian, a two parts response: QoS interconnection isn't free of charges. The philosphy I am aware of is "sending party pays". It's a sender incentive then to ensure the traffic is marked as desired. Traffic using TCP transport should use a QoS class optimised for TCP transport, I'd suggest. A recurring issue during standardisation and interconnection discussion with network engineers is to avoid to name QoS classes by applications. The point is to look at the required QoS properties. Transport seems to be reasonably abstract. Another issue: QoS means to avoid congestion (this is not CoS, meaning "survive longer"). Under foreseeable operational conditions, all QoS classes experience similar forwarding (no drops and low delay/jitter). That's why I also don't favour approaches starting from an application and ending with a new required QoS class. Where's the experience with the deployed classes justifying this way of engineering? The more basic part of your statement: I agree, we don't need *another* set of classes. You, James and I just don't agree on which are the ones we don't need. The set I propopse is rather abstract. I didn't up to now catch a single line telling me why this set of classes isn't useful. Instead you say that you prefer a small set as I propose but then you support James class/codepoint overspecification. Too many classes, codepoints and standards around them are part of the problem, they are not part of the solution. To be precise: Interconnection agreements are simple regarding the EF and the Best Effort class. They are work intensive for AF based classes. Do you have an idea what could be the cause? No standards body besides IETF works with these many codepoints and classes. Even if they propose pure IP interconnections. But (obviously) each standard body picks another subset and some of them interpret IETF AF standards rather creative. Yes, DiffServ is flexible enough to deal with that. Administration, operation and interconnection negotiation however benefit if there's a standard behviour, used by a majority of all customers and by tailored adaptions used by a few.

In the general case, that seems unlikely, which is why there is always likely to be a classifier as well as a re-marker at the boundary, and quite possibly a traffic conditioner too. Agreed, there might be a subset of peering relationships at which you would be prepared to trust your neighbour's DSCPs. I thought that was one intent behind RFC 4594 and its possible update. We surely don't need *another* set of recommended traffic classes. However, at a peering connection where you don't have that level of trust, you have to either reclassify all packets or mark everything as best effort.

Today it is RED, ECN or the like in future. How do you help the alarming amount of traffic that is streaming over TCP?
