Class of Service Configuration
Class of Service (CoS) is a 3-bit field within a layer two Ethernet frame header
using IEEE 802.1Q. Class of Service (CoS) is a way of managing traffic in a
network by grouping similar types of traffic (for example, e-mail, streaming video,
voice, large document file transfer) together and treating each type as a class with
its own level of service priority. Unlike Quality of Service (QoS) traffic
management, Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in
terms of bandwidth and delivery time; they offer a "best-effort."
