<abstract>
<t>The definition of PHBs (per-hop forwarding behaviors) is
a critical
part of the work of the Diffserv Working Group.
This document
describes a PHB called Expedited Forwarding.
We show the generality
of this PHB by noting that it can be produced by more than one
mechanism and give an example of its use to produce at least one
service, a Virtual Leased Line.
A recommended codepoint for this PHB
is given.</t>
<t>A pdf version of this document is available at.</t></abstract></front>
