>Differentiated Services (short: Diffserv) is an architecture for

|
providing different types or levels of service for network traffic.
|
|
One key characteristic of Diffserv is that flows are aggregated in
|
|
the network, so that core routers only need to distinguish a
|
|
comparably small number of aggregated flows, even if those flows
|
|
contain thousands or millions of individual flows.
