Examples of traffic engineering with diffserv

Use codepoints to:

• map packets to weighted round-robin queues

  • one might get majority share of the output link during congestion
  • one might get no share unless there is no other traffic

• invoke drop preference mechanisms to give preferential treatment to some packets during congestion

• mark all traffic bound for “frivolous” web sites for downgraded treatment
