Can we always assume that a higher service class provides
the same or a better service than any lower service class
in AF? Can the following scenario happen in Diffserv
network?
The gold service was allocated x percent of a link’s
bandwidth and silver service was allocated x/2 percent of
the link’s bandwidth, but the traffic intensity of gold
packets was 10 times higher than that of silver packets.

Should the ISP assure that there are not so many gold
packets in service? 

Thanks
