Hi
In view of the several packet types we have similar naming and to avoid
confusion indicating
Similar fields for different packet types we need to have some
distinguishing factor
Indicating something like "Labelled Traffic Differentiator " or
"Labelled Traffic class" or
say "MPLS Traffic Class ".
While EXP is indeed primarily for Traffic class and QOS requirements of
labelled packet ,it shouldn't be deemed
as limiting factor for appropriate usage based on the need /application
handling.
