/*
 * DSCP Pools and Codepoint Space Division:
 *
 * The Differentiated Services (Diffserv) architecture defines a method for
 * classifying and managing network traffic using the DS field in IPv4 and IPv6
 * packet headers. This field can carry one of 64 distinct DSCP (Differentiated
 * Services Code Point) values, which are divided into three pools based on
 * their Least Significant Bits (LSB) patterns and intended usage. Each pool has
 * a specific registration procedure for assigning DSCP values:
 *
 * Pool 1 (Standards Action Pool):
 * - Codepoint Space: xxxxx0
 *   This pool includes DSCP values ending in '0' (binary), allocated via
 *   Standards Action. It is intended for globally recognized traffic classes,
 *   ensuring interoperability across the internet. This pool encompasses
 *   well-known DSCP values such as CS0-CS7, AFxx, EF, and VOICE-ADMIT.
 *
 * Pool 2 (Experimental/Local Use Pool):
 * - Codepoint Space: xxxx11
 *   Reserved for DSCP values ending in '11' (binary), this pool is designated
 *   for Experimental or Local Use. It allows for private or temporary traffic
 *   marking schemes not intended for standardized global use, facilitating
 *   testing and network-specific configurations without impacting
 *   interoperability.
 *
 * Pool 3 (Preferential Standardization Pool):
 * - Codepoint Space: xxxx01
 *   Initially reserved for experimental or local use, this pool now serves as
 *   a secondary standardization resource should Pool 1 become exhausted. DSCP
 *   values ending in '01' (binary) are assigned via Standards Action, with a
 *   focus on adopting new, standardized traffic classes as the need arises.
 *
 * For pool updates see:
 * https://www.iana.org/assignments/dscp-registry/dscp-registry.xhtml
