 * DSCP Pools and Codepoint Space Division:

9
 *

10
 * The Differentiated Services (Diffserv) architecture defines a method for

11
 * classifying and managing network traffic using the DS field in IPv4 and IPv6

12
 * packet headers. This field can carry one of 64 distinct DSCP (Differentiated

13
 * Services Code Point) values, which are divided into three pools based on

14
 * their Least Significant Bits (LSB) patterns and intended usage. Each pool has

15
 * a specific registration procedure for assigning DSCP values:

16
 *

17
 * Pool 1 (Standards Action Pool):

18
 * - Codepoint Space: xxxxx0

19
 *   This pool includes DSCP values ending in '0' (binary), allocated via

20
 *   Standards Action. It is intended for globally recognized traffic classes,

21
 *   ensuring interoperability across the internet. This pool encompasses

22
 *   well-known DSCP values such as CS0-CS7, AFxx, EF, and VOICE-ADMIT.

23
 *

24
 * Pool 2 (Experimental/Local Use Pool):

25
 * - Codepoint Space: xxxx11

26
 *   Reserved for DSCP values ending in '11' (binary), this pool is designated

27
 *   for Experimental or Local Use. It allows for private or temporary traffic

28
 *   marking schemes not intended for standardized global use, facilitating

29
 *   testing and network-specific configurations without impacting

30
 *   interoperability.

31
 *

32
 * Pool 3 (Preferential Standardization Pool):

33
 * - Codepoint Space: xxxx01

34
 *   Initially reserved for experimental or local use, this pool now serves as

35
 *   a secondary standardization resource should Pool 1 become exhausted. DSCP

36
 *   values ending in '01' (binary) are assigned via Standards Action, with a

37
 *   focus on adopting new, standardized traffic classes as the need arises.

38
 *
