Both the Use IEEE 802.1p Traffic Class Field and Use IP TOS, DiffServ fields look-up
schemes examine Ethernet packets to determine their prioritization. The former
looks at one portion of the packet, effectively making it a Layer 2 tool. The latter
looks at a different part of the packet, effectively making it a Layer 3 tool.
The Look-up Scheme is part of the prioritization of Ethernet packets. Prioritization
determines which packets clear the buffer first. If you didn't care about the
prioritization of packets, you would choose None. If you wanted to prioritize voice
packets on Port 1, for example, you would choose another option.
