DiffServ Menu
DiffServ also called Differential Services is a
protocol allowing routers to provide differing
levels of service based on the DiffServ Code
Point (DSCP). Diffserv is a commonly
supported layer-3 protocol that, to be
effective, must be support by all routers in
the chain. The higher the DSCP the sooner
the router will send the packet. However, in
a congested environment, packets with the
highest DSCP are discarded first.
This menu establishes the DSCP the LIP-
9070 will employ with voice and signaling
packets.
In the menu, enable or disable Diffserv,
select an appropriate Code Point and save
the changes.
Video DiffServ Menu
The Diffserv (Video) menu establishes the
DSCP applied to video packets only. Refer
to section A.6 for a brief discussion of
Diffserv.
