What are DSCP values?

What are DSCP values?

A Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a packet header value that can be used to request (for example) high priority or best effort delivery for traffic.

What DSCP 24?

DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) uses the 6 bits, thereby giving 2^6 = 64 different values (0 to 63). describes the standard DSCP values….

Decimal DSCP Description
20 AF22 Class 2, Silver (AF22)
22 AF23 Class 2, Bronze (AF23)
24 CS3 Class 3 (CS3)
26 AF31 Class 3, Gold (AF31)

What is DSCP IP?

Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a means of classifying and managing network traffic and of providing quality of service (QoS) in modern Layer 3 IP networks. It uses the 6-bit Differentiated Services (DS) field in the IP header for the purpose of packet classification.

What is DSCP 48?

DSCP 48 is control traffic CS6 for voice usually so it shouldn’t be in the priority queue , looking at my switches running mls its the same , queue 2. ! mls qos map cos-dscp 0 8 16 24 32 46 48 56.

How is DSCP value related to IP precedence?

On the eight fields, the upper six bit contain value called Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP). The last two bits are used for Explicit Congestion Notification and it is defined in RFC 3168. In DSCP the most significant three bits are directly proportional to IP Precedence. Below is a DSCP to IP Precedence conversion table.

Where does the DSCP come from in the IP header?

Analysis software derives the DSCP from the ToS value. The ToS field, originally defined in RFC 791, is present in the IP header. The ToS octet consists of three fields. The last 3 bits (7, 6, 5) are for the first field, labeled “Precedence,” intended to denote the importance or priority of the datagram.

Which is the most significant bit in DSCP?

In DSCP the most significant three bits are directly proportional to IP Precedence. Below is a DSCP to IP Precedence conversion table. NetFlow Analyzer reports on both DSCP and ToS.

How are type of service and DSCP values defined?

Type of Service (ToS) and DSCP Values Internet Protocol network packets can have one byte in the IP header defining what kind of service (and priority) the packet contains. The same one byte is used for both Type of Service (ToS) classifications and differentiated services code point (DSCP) values. The Type of Service byte was defined in 1981.
