Quality of Service: Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
Globally-Configured QoS
Table 5-8. IP Precedence-to-802.1p Priority Mapping
Note Using a global IP-Precedence classifier to prioritize IP packets relies on
priorities set in upstream devices and applications.
Figure 5-13 shows the difference between the diffserv bits and precedence
bits in an IPv4 ToS byte and an IPv6 Traffic Class byte. Note that:
â– Precedence bits are a subset of the Differentiated Services bits.
â– The rightmost two bits are reserved.
