Assured Forwarding (AF)—This PHB contains four service levels, each with a
different drop precedence, as shown in the following table. Routers use drop
precedence to determine which packets to discard last when the network
becomes congested. AF PHB is described in RFC 2597.
Class Selector (CS)—This PHB has eight priority classes, with CS7 representing
the highest priority, and CS0 representing the lowest priority, as shown in the
following table. CS PHB is described in RFC 2474.
