9.3 Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the
MAX208M2W Series features described in this chapter.

9.3.1 DSCP and Per-Hop Behavior

DiffServ defines a new DS (Differentiated Services) field to replace the Type of
Service (TOS) field in the IP header. The DS field contains a 2-bit unused field and
a 6-bit DSCP field which can define up to 64 service levels. The following figure
illustrates the DS field.

DSCP
(6-bit)
DSCP is backward compatible with the three precedence bits in the ToS octet so
that non-DiffServ compliant, ToS-enabled network device will not conflict with the
DSCP mapping.

DESCRIPTION
Enter the first 6 bits of the ToS field in hexadecimal (in a format of
0x00), which you want to mark on all outgoing SIP packets flowing
through the MAX208M2W Series. The MAX208M2W Series automatically
converts this number to another in order to compatible with DiffServ-
enabled network. For example, if you enter 0x2E, it is 101110 in binary
for ToS service. The MAX208M2W Series converts it to 10111000 in
binary for DiffServ-enabled network.
Select the ToS value in hexadecimal (in a format of 0x00) to mark all
outgoing RTP packets flowing through the MAX208M2W Series.
