Mapping IP Precedence Priority
The Type of Service (TOS) octet in the IPv4 header includes three precedence bits
(see page 3-192) defining eight different priority levels ranging from highest priority
(7) for network control packets to lowest priority (0) for routine traffic. Bits 6 and 7 are
used for network control, and the other bits for various application types.
Precedence values are defined in the following table.
