8  * DSCP Pools and Codepoint Space Division:
9  *
10  * The Differentiated Services (Diffserv) architecture defines a method for
11  * classifying and managing network traffic using the DS field in IPv4 and IPv6
12  * packet headers. This field can carry one of 64 distinct DSCP (Differentiated
13  * Services Code Point) values, which are divided into three pools based on
14  * their Least Significant Bits (LSB) patterns and intended usage. Each pool has
15  * a specific registration procedure for assigning DSCP values:
16  *
17  * Pool 1 (Standards Action Pool):
18  * - Codepoint Space: xxxxx0
19  *   This pool includes DSCP values ending in '0' (binary), allocated via
20  *   Standards Action. It is intended for globally recognized traffic classes,
21  *   ensuring interoperability across the internet. This pool encompasses
22  *   well-known DSCP values such as CS0-CS7, AFxx, EF, and VOICE-ADMIT.
23  *
24  * Pool 2 (Experimental/Local Use Pool):
25  * - Codepoint Space: xxxx11
26  *   Reserved for DSCP values ending in '11' (binary), this pool is designated
27  *   for Experimental or Local Use. It allows for private or temporary traffic
28  *   marking schemes not intended for standardized global use, facilitating
29  *   testing and network-specific configurations without impacting
30  *   interoperability.
31  *
32  * Pool 3 (Preferential Standardization Pool):
33  * - Codepoint Space: xxxx01
34  *   Initially reserved for experimental or local use, this pool now serves as
35  *   a secondary standardization resource should Pool 1 become exhausted. DSCP
36  *   values ending in '01' (binary) are assigned via Standards Action, with a
37  *   focus on adopting new, standardized traffic classes as the need arises.
38  *
