Mapping Layer 3/4 Priorities to CoS Values
The switch supports several common methods of prioritizing layer 3/4
traffic to meet application requirements. Traffic priorities can be specified in
the IP header of a frame, using the priority bits in the Type of Service (ToS)
octet, or the number of the TCP/UDP port. If priority bits are used, the ToS
octet may contain three bits for IP Precedence or six bits for Differentiated
Services Code Point (DSCP) service. When these services are enabled, the
priorities are mapped to a Class of Service value by the switch, and the
traffic then sent to the corresponding output queue.
Because different priority information may be contained in the traffic, this
switch maps priority values to the output queues in the following manner –
The precedence for priority mapping is DSCP Priority and then Default Port
Priority.
