RFC 3247: Supplemental Information for the New Definition of the EF PHB (Expedited Forwarding Per-Hop Behavior)
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This document was written during the process of clarification of RFC2598 "An Expedited Forwarding PHB" that led to the publication of revised specification of EF "An Expedited Forwarding PHB". Its primary motivation is providing additional explanation to the revised EF definition and its properties. The document also provides additional implementation examples and gives some guidance for computation of the numerical parameters of the new definition for several well known schedulers and router architectures. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
