Function name:
IP ToS Classification
Function description:
Another QoS function is the application of Layer 3 on network framework. We focus on
TOS field of IP header. There are three bits in TOS field. We means bit 5~7 of TOS field that
we will use. According to these 3 bits, we could arrange 8 traffics –0 0 0, 0 0 1, 0 1 0, 0 1 1,
1 0 0, 1 0 1, 1 1 0, 1 1 1. As long as we change bit 5~7 of TOS field of IP header, we will
create the 8 traffic packets we meant before. Moreover, we can set High priority or Low
priority for each traffic class. For instance, if we let TOS 0 0 0 be high priority and TOS 0 0 1
be Low Priority, we sent in the packets that have bit 5~7 of TOS Field appears 0 0 0 from
the port 2 and the packets that have bit 5~7 of TOS Field appears 0 0 1 from the port 3. We
let the two kinds of packets be transmitted for port 1 until the port results in congestion.
The result is that the packets will be dropped partially from the port 3 because the packets
that belong to Low Priority.

Parameter description:
Quality of Service (QoS) ToS Configuration:
Used for setting up the QoS in Layer 3.
Port:
User can set up the port (1~8) respectively to let TOS QoS function work on them. If
you would like to set up all ports at a time, user is also allowed to choose “All” in the
selection list to simplify the procedure of configuration.
