Hello,
Today I would like to share with you the QoS standards and protocols in the network.
Layer3
DiffServ (RFC2474): is the protocol that defines the prioritization of traffic at layer 3 of the OSI model (routing). Routers use DSCP (Diffserv Code Point) tagging at the IP header. The DSCP field (6bits) replaces the TOS field of the IPv4 header and the Traffic Class Field in IPv6.
Layer2,5
The first 3 bits of the DSCP (or IP Precedence) are copied into the Exp field of the MPLS header.
Layer2
IEEE802.1p: is the standard that defines the prioritization of the layer2 traffic of the OSI model where it is added following the MAC header.
IEE802.1q defines VLAN tagging and specifies 3 bit for prioritization (where 802.1p is applied).
The IEEE802.3 Ethernet protocol contains in its header the TCI field (Tag Control Info).
