ETS-1000G

ECN Values

EF— Expedited Forwarding. It is used for processing the
deference-sensitive traffic that requires the minimum jitter, such as video
or voice (VoIP; Voice over IP).

congestion. Setting bits in this field allows routers to detect congestion on
the data transmission path to the specified network node without
discarding a packet.
