You might take that question to the differentiated services
interest list:

  diffserv-interest(_at_)external(_dot_)cisco(_dot_)com
  Send "subscribe diffserv-interest" to mailer(_at_)cisco(_dot_)com

Hi,
  Recently I read some presentation slides at
http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~braun/talks/swisscom498/ppframe.htm
  on "Differentiated Services of Internet".
  I am confused with the statements about "Assured Services"

  1) Users/ISP negotiate service profile
  2) No QoS guarantees but low loss probability
  3) Pkt which dont conform to the service will not be dropped but
     will be made best effort.

  I see the stmt 2) quite not fitting with others. Am I missing
something ?

Thanks
