Abstract
A method for communication includes encapsulating multiple data packets, which carry data and have respective drop precedence (DP) values selected from a range of possible DP values, to produce a concatenated frame of a transport protocol. A composite drop precedence (CDP) value is assigned from the range to the concatenated frame using a pseudo-random assignment function that depends on a distribution of the DP values of the data packets in the concatenated frame. The concatenated frame is transported through a communication network using the transport protocol, in accordance with the pseudo-randomly assigned CDP value.
