The ITG ISL Trunk allows you to set the 8-bit DiffServ/TOS field to any
value specified by the IP network administrator for QoS management
purposes. For example, if you enter a decimal value of 36 in MAT, this is
interpreted as TOS Precedence = Priority and Reliability = High. Note that if
the craftsperson made ping measurements on an intranet that does
prioritization (see "Queue management" on page 128) based on the TOS
field, the rtt measured will be higher than the actual delay of voice packets

obtain a delay distribution, the

samples in a raw data file. The file can then be to be analyzed later using
spreadsheet and other statistics packages. You can check if the intranet's
network management software has any delay measurement modules which
can obtain a delay distribution for specific site pairs.
Delay characteristics vary depending on the site pair and the time-of-day. The
assessment of the intranet should include taking delay measurements for each
ITG site pair. If there are significant fluctuations of traffic in the intranet, it is
