ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for using unused address bits of an IPv6 address to carry quality of service (QoS) request information over a computer network, such as the Internet, so that at intermediate nodes along the network the routers and switches thereat may easily determine the QoS being requested for packets and forward the packets with the requested QoS.
