6.4 IP Precedence
IP Precedence is a QoS method that combines a priority value with different
on/off parameters; Delay, Throughput, Reliability and Cost. The MBZ (Must
be Zero) bit is not used.
Using the ToS bits, you can define up to eight classes of service. Other
devices configured throughout the network can then use these bits to
determine how to treat the packet in regard to the type of service to grant it.
These other QoS features can assign appropriate traffic-handling policies
including congestion management and bandwidth allocation. By setting IP
Precedence levels on incoming traffic and using them in combination with
QoS queuing features, you can create differentiated service.
