The best ones provide a differentiated service that is worth paying for.

But I don't get this stressing over "differentiated services".

Further to this, the school developed a Differentiated Services Model for its full time students.

The second and currently accepted approach is differentiated services (DiffServ).

Differentiated services, Integrated services - including traffic classification and prioritization.

The question, of course, is what those "additional or differentiated services" would entail: IP video?

A provider that offers a broadband Internet access service complying with the above principles could offer any other additional or differentiated services.

The 6 most-significant bits are used for differentiated services, which is used to classify packets.

Hulu and Youtube aren't "broadband Internet" services, they're differentiated services.

Differentiated service (design pattern)

These features can be used to improve system efficiency and enable differentiated services for separate VNICs.

Differentiated services ("DiffServ") implements the prioritized model.

Differentiated service is extensively covered in a few narrow technical areas, such as telecoms networks and internet (see Differentiated services).

Differentiated services (DiffServ)

Many MLSs implement QoS differentiated services and/or integrated services in hardware.

This program allows academically-gifted students who have been identified through the school system to engage in curriculum and instructional strategies that provide differentiated services to match students' educational needs.

"The primary goal of differentiated services is to allow different levels of service to be provided for traffic streams on a common network infrastructure," RFC 2474 explained.

While Differentiated Services is somewhat backwards compatible with ToS, ECN is not.

The DS field contains a 6-bit Differentiated services Code Point (DSCP) value.

These bits were later re-defined as Differentiated services code points (DSCP) and are sometimes honored in peered links on the modern Internet.

In other words, as well as matching the destination address, the FIB has to match differentiated services code points (DSCP).

Originally defined as the Type of service field, this field is now defined by RFC 2474 for Differentiated services (DiffServ).

DiffServ uses the 6-bit Differentiated services Field (DS field) in the IP header for packet classification purposes.

A DSLAM may also support quality of service (QoS) features like contention, differentiated services ("DiffServ") and priority queues.
