Frame transfer normalized priority

The frame transfer priority (hereinafter called) FTP capability definition distinguishes between FTP indices and classes. Several FTP indices may be mapped into one or more FTP classes by a network and different networks may map differently FTP indices to classes. When a frame relay SVC traverses multiple networks it may not be clear what is the exact FTP it is assigned. The concept of frame transfer normalized priority (hereinafter called FTnP) overcomes this disadvantage. The FTnP is a precise and uniform measure of the FTP assigned to a frame relay SVC or PVC.
