Priority Type above being selected as Port-based, this control item will then be

TOS/DSCP
TOS/DSCP priority is obtained through a 6-bit Type-of-Service (TOS) or Differentiated
Service Code Point (DSCP) to 3-bit priority mapping.
The Type of Service (TOS) octet in the IPv4 header is divided into three parts;
Precedence (3 bits), TOS (4 bits), and MBZ (1 bit). The Precedence bits indicate the
importance of a packet, whereas the TOS bits indicate how the network should make
tradeoffs between throughput, delay, reliability, and cost (as defined in RFC 1394). The
MBZ bit (for "must be zero") is currently unused and is either set to zero or just
ignored.
