QoS/DSCP

DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model is based on packet marking and

router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a field to the IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code

Point). This is a 6-bit field that provides 64 different class IDs. It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded, known

as the Per Hop Behavior (PHB). The PHB describes a particular service level in terms of bandwidth, queuing theory, and dropping

(discarding the packet) decisions. Routers at each network node classify packets according to their DSCP value and give them a

particular forwarding treatment. For example, how much bandwidth should be reserved.

Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality to different services on the

network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia

applications. Quality can be defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.
