    How Subinterfaces Works A common use for subinterfaces is forwarding a public subnet. A subinterface may be created to support a subnet forwarded through the Polycom V 5300-S. When forwarding a subnet through the Polycom V IU 5300-S, it is necessary to assign an address for this subnet to the system to act as the subnet's gateway.

  • Page 29: Tos Byte Setting

    How the ToS Byte Setting Works For all RTP traffic (voice and video), the Polycom V IU 5300-S marks the ToS byte in the IP header as “High Priority,” and strips (set to 0) the ToS byte for all other traffic.
