8-38 IP Multiline Station (SIP)
Working in conjunction with IP precedence, the next 4 bits in the ToS field are
designed to influence the delivery of data based on delay, throughput, reliability,
and cost. However these fields are typically not used.
The following table shows the 8-bit ToS field and the associated IP precedence
bits.
Differential Services Code Point (DSCP)
DSCP stands for Differential Services Code Point (or Diffserv for short). It uses
the first 6 bits of the ToS field therefore giving 64 possible values.
The following list shows the most common DSCP code points with their binary
values and their associated names:
