RFC 3246: An Expedited Forwarding PHB (Per-Hop Behavior)

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines a PHB (per-hop behavior) called Expedited Forwarding (EF). The PHB is a basic building block in the Differentiated Services architecture. EF is intended to provide a building block for low delay, low jitter and low loss services by ensuring that the EF aggregate is served at a certain configured rate. This document obsoletes RFC 2598.
