Working with VSCs
Quality of service (QoS)
5-39
VSC-based priority
This mechanism is unique to HP. It enables you to assign a single priority level to all traffic on
a VSC. If you enable the VSC-based priority mechanism, it takes precedence regardless of the
priority mechanism supported by associated client stations. For example, if you set VSC-
based low priority, then all devices that connect to the VSC have their traffic set at this
priority, including SVP clients.
DiffServ (Differentiated Services)
This mechanism classifies traffic based on the value of the Differentiated Services (DS)
codepoint field in IPv4 and IPv6 packet headers (as defined in RFC2474). The codepoint is
composed of the six most significant bits of the DS field.
TOS
This mechanism classifies traffic based on value of the TOS (Type of Service) field in an IP
packet header.
