2.2.6 Management by IP or MAC address

MH-1000 can also be configured to apply traffic policies based on a particular IP or MAC address. This

allows you to quickly assign different traffic policies to a specific computer on the network.

2.2.7 DiffServ (DSCP Marking)

DiffServ (a.k.a. DSCP Marking) allows you to classify traffic based on IP DSCP values. These markings

can be used to identify traffic within the network. Other interfaces can match traffic based on the DSCP

markings. DSCP markings are used to decide how packets should be treated, and is a useful tool to give

precedence to varying types of data.
