Mapping Layer 3/4 Priorities to CoS Values
The switch supports several common methods of prioritizing layer 3/4 traffic to meet
application requirements. Traffic priorities can be specified in the IP header of a frame,
using the priority bits in the Type of Service (ToS) octet, or the number of the TCP/UDP
port. If priority bits are used, the ToS octet may contain three bits for IP Precedence or
six bits for Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) service. When these services are
enabled, the priorities are mapped to a Class of Service value by the switch, and the
traffic then sent to the corresponding output queue.
