Why use the same name for a different think if this work is beginning from
scratch ? (there are no historical reasons for it).
Is it not a misuse, since the acronym DSCP has been defined by the
diffserv wg ?
I my opinion there should be a field in the SLS for specifying exactly the
service one has in mind. It may be a well-known service identifier or a
identifier that has just a peer-to-peer meaning. I cannot see a
negociation process where both sides are able to understand clearly other
side's idea of the service just by observing some fields in the SLS (for
any service one can ever imagine!).
Regards,
Carlos
