RFC 9892: Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP) Traffic Classification Data Item

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

This document defines a new Data Item for the Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP) to support traffic classification. Traffic classification information identifies traffic flows based on frame/packet content such as a destination address. The Data Item is defined in an extensible and reusable fashion. Its use will be mandated in other documents defining specific DLEP extensions. This document also introduces DLEP Sub-Data Items and defines two new Sub-Data Items to support Diffserv and Ethernet traffic classification.
