Specifying layer 2 marking
The IEEE ratified the 802.1p standard for traffic prioritization in response to the realization that different traf-
fic classes have different priority needs. This standard defines how network frames are tagged with user priority
levels ranging from 7 (highest priority) to 0 (lowest priority). 802.1p-compliant network infrastructure devices,
such as switches and routers, prioritize traffic delivery according to the user priority tag, giving higher priority
frames precedence over lower priority or non-tagged frames. This means that time-critical data can receive
preferential treatment over non-time-critical data.
Under 802.1p, a 4-byte Tag Control Info (TCI) field is inserted in the Layer 2 header between the Source
Address and the MAC Client Type/Length field of an Ethernet Frame.
