DiffServ (DSCP)
DiffServ ("Differentiated Services") is a computer networking architecture that
specifies a simple, scalable and coarse-grained mechanism, managing network
traffic and providing ("Quality of Service") guarantees in modern IP networks.
DiffServ can, for example, be used to provide low-latency, guaranteed service
("Guaranteed Service") to critical network traffic such as voice or video data
while providing simple "Best Effort" traffic guarantees to non-critical services
such as web traffic or file transfers.
DSCP ("Differentiated Services Code Point") is a 6-bit field in the header of IP
packets for packet classification purposes. DSCP replaces the outdated IP
precedence, a 3-bit field in the "Type of Service" byte of the IP header originally
used to classify and prioritize types of traffic.
When using the DiffServ priority mechanism, a packet is classified based on the
DSCP field in the IP header. If the tag is present, the packet is assigned to a
programmable "Egress Queue" based on the value of the "Tagged Priority". The
"Tagged Priority" can be designated to any available "Queue".
