Chapter 12 QoS Configuration

12.1 Introduction to QoS

QoS (Quality of Service) is a set of capabilities that allow you to create differentiated services

for network traffic, thereby providing better service for selected network traffic. QoS is a

guarantee for service quality of consistent and predictable data transfer service to fulfill

program requirements. QoS cannot generate extra bandwidth but provides more effective

bandwidth management according to the application requirement and network management

policy.

12.1.1 QoS Terms

QoS: Quality of Service, provides a guarantee for service quality of consistent and predictable

data transfer service to fulfill program requirements. QoS cannot generate new bandwidth but

provides more effective bandwidth management according to the application requirement and

network management.

QoS Domain: QoS Domain supports QoS devices to form a net-topology that provides Quality

of Service, so this topology is defined as QoS Domain.

CoS: Class of Service, the classification information carried by Layer 2 802.1Q frames, taking

3 bits of the Tag field in frame header, is called user priority level in the range of 0 to 7.

CoS priority

ToS: Type of Service, a one-byte field carried in Layer 3 IPv4 packet header to symbolize the

service type of IP packets. Among ToS field can be IP Precedence value or DSCP value.

ToS priority

IP Precedence: IP priority. Classification information carried in Layer 3 IP packet header,

occupying 3 bits, in the range of 0 to 7.

DSCP: Differentiated Services Code Point, classification information carried in Layer 3 IP

packet header, occupying 6 bits, in the range of 0 to 63, and is downward compatible with IP

Precedence.
