802.1p priority lies in the Layer 2 header. It applies to occasions where Layer 3 header analysis is not
needed and QoS must be assured at Layer 2.
Figure 27 An Ethernet frame with an 802.1Q tag header
As shown in Figure 27, the 4-byte 802.1Q tag header consists of the 2-byte tag protocol identifier
(TPID) and the 2-byte tag control information (TCI). The value of the TPID is 0x8100. Figure 28
sho
ws the format of the 802.1Q tag header. The Priority field in the 802.1Q tag header is called the
"802.1p priority", because its use is defined in IEEE 802.1p. Table 12 sho
ws the values for 802.1p
