consisting of source address, source port number, protocol number, destination
address, and destination port number. It can also be simply a network segment.
Precedence IP precedence, ToS precedence, and DSCP precedence
Figure 92 DS field and ToS byte
The ToS field in an IP header contains eight bits numbered 0 through 7, among
which,
■ The first three bits indicate IP precedence in the range 0 to 7.
■ Bit 3 to bit 6 indicate ToS precedence in the range of 0 to 15.
■ In RFC2474, the ToS field in IP packet header is also known as DS field. The first
six bits (bit 0 through bit 5) of the DS field indicate differentiated service
codepoint (DSCP) in the range of 0 to 63, and the last two bits (bit 6 and bit 7)
are reserved.
In a network providing differentiated services, traffics are grouped into the
following four classes, and packets are processed according to their DSCP values.
■ Expedited Forwarding (EF) class: In this class, packets can be forwarded
regardless of link share of other traffic. The class is suitable for preferential
services with low delay, low packet loss ratio, low jitter, and assured bandwidth
(such as virtual leased line);
■ Assured forwarding (AF) class: This class is further divided into four subclasses
(AF1/2/3/4) and a subclass is further divided into three drop priorities, so the AF
service level can be segmented. The QoS rank of the AF class is lower than that
of the EF class;
