Abstract
In a packet switching network, voice packets are made to include an EC field whose contents indicates whether the corresponding packet is eligible for clipping if required in a node queue within the network. Should clipping of a non eligible packet be required, then another bit field would be set in the following packet on same link to limit any possible clipping of successive packets on same link.
