3.3 IP Network Parameters
3.3.1 Quality of Service (QoS)
The QoS technology based on layer 2 and the two QoS technologies Diffserv and TOS/IP Pre-
cedence based on layer 3 are allowing the VoIP application to request and receive predictable
service levels in terms of data throughput capacity (bandwidth), latency variations (jitter), and
delay.
3.3.1.1 Layer 2 / 802.1p
QoS on layer 2 is using 3 Bits in the 802.1q/p 4-Byte VLAN tag which has to be added in the
Ethernet header.
The CoS (class of service) value can be set from 0 to 7. The value 7 is describing the highest
priority and is reserved for network management. Value 5 is used for voice (RTP-streams) by
default. Value 3 is used for signaling by default.
Data required
• Layer 2: Activates or deactivates QoS on layer 2.
Value range: „Yes“, „No“.
• Layer 2 voice: Sets the CoS (Class of Service) value for voice data (RTP streams).
Value range: 0-7. Default value: 5.
• Layer 2 signalling: Sets the CoS (Class of Service) value for signaling.
Value range: 0-7.
Default value: 3.
• Layer 2 default: Default setting on layer 2.
