Appendix B Introduction to packet precedences

IP precedence and DSCP values

Figure 17 ToS and DS fields

As shown in

Figure 17

, the ToS field in the IP header contains eight bits. The first three bits (0 to 2)

represent IP precedence from 0 to 7. According to RFC 2474, the ToS field is redefined as the

differentiated services (DS) field, where a DSCP value is represented by the first six bits (0 to 5) and is in

the range 0 to 63. The remaining two bits (6 and 7) are reserved.
