ABSTRACT:
A first block of packets is sent through a network at a first throughput rate. The first block of packets has a differential treatment field set to a first value. A second block of packets is sent through the network at a second throughput rate. The second block of packets has the differential treatment field set to a second value. A first report indicating that the reception of the first block of packets satisfies a criteria is received. A second report indicating that the reception of the second block of packets satisfies the criteria is received. A treatment field value for the differential treatment field is selected based on the first report and the second report. A packet with the differential treatment field set to the treatment field value is sent to the network.
