Re: [tsvwg] New Version Notification for draft-szigeti-tsvwg-ieee-802-11-01.txt

["Fred Baker (fred)" <[e-mail]>]

To my knowledge, there is no RFC updating RFC 2475 to change the definition.

I'll note that there is a fairly fundamental difference between QoS and CoS, at least as implemented in various standards. Your term "service level" is telling in that regard. CoS, as described in IEEE 802.1 P/Q, is a very strict priority service - traffic in one service class is serviced before traffic in the next. QoS, as described in Diffserv, identifies an SLA. That SLA is not necessarily hierarchical; I might have many traffic streams that each have a specified upper bound or lower bound rate (given that there is traffic there to use it) but enjoy no priority with respect to each other. RFC 4594 attempts to clarify issues along those lines - priority is used to limit jitter, rate-based scheduling is used to manage rate, traffic that exceeds a stated rate might be remarked or dropped outright, and so on.

Yes, as far as I know, we haven't gutted diffserv.

>>>>> wireless 802.11  networks.  The purpose of this document is to
>>>>> propose a set  Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) to IEEE
>>>>> 802.11 User  Priority (UP) mappings to reconcile the marking
