    Hello,

    I think that the DSCP values in the SLS are meant as a means to signal to
    the network the required 'service level' (as specified and agreed in the
    SLS) that customer flow(s) must receive. The network can then remark the
    packets according to its QoS capabilities for actually providing the
    requested 'service level'.
    Therefore, the fact that DSCP values are inlcuded in the SLS does not make
    SLSs specific to Diffserv nor does it expose the internal QoS capabilities
    of a domain. It only implies that the SLSs are specific to IP-based
    connectivity services.

    Panos
