Challenge 7: Precedence of Elastic Traffic Notion of traffic precedence introduced in [RFC791] "An independent measure of the importance of this datagram." Questions: What is the meaning of "relative"? What is the role of the Transport Layer in providing the respective considerations for precedence wrt to serviced applicative traffic? Preferential treatment of higher precedence traffic with appropriate congestion control mechanisms is still an open issue Note: depending on solution may impact both the host and the network precedence awareness, and thereby the congestion control |
