> Abstract:
>    This document specifies properties and characteristics of a Lower
>    Effort (LE) per-hop behavior (PHB).  The primary objective of this LE
>    PHB is to protect best-effort (BE) traffic (packets forwarded with
>    the default PHB) from LE traffic in congestion situations, i.e., when
>    resources become scarce, best-effort traffic has precedence over LE
>    traffic and may preempt it.  Alternatively, packets forwarded by the
>    LE PHB can be associated with a scavenger service class, i.e., they
>    scavenge otherwise unused resources only.  There are numerous uses
>    for this PHB, e.g., for background traffic of low precedence, such as
>    bulk data transfers with low priority in time, non time-critical
>    backups, larger software updates, web search engines while gathering
>    information from web servers and so on.  This document recommends a
>    standard DSCP value for the LE PHB.  This specification obsoletes RFC
>    3662 and updates the DSCP recommended in RFC 4594 and RFC 8325 to use
>    the DSCP assigned in this specification.
