Differentiated services are realized by mapping the codepoint in the IP packet header to a particular forwarding treatment, per-hop behavior (PHB), at each network node along its path
The codepoints may be:
- chosen from a set of defined mandatory values
- chosen from a set of recommended values to be defined in future documents
- or may have purely local meaning
Marking is performed by traffic conditioners at network boundaries
