Quality of Service (QoS)
Configuring DiffServ
Contained in the header of every IP packet is a field for IP Type of Service (TOS), now also called the
DiffServ field. The TOS field is used by the switch to determine the type of service provided to the
packet.
Observing DiffServ code points as a traffic grouping mechanism for defining QoS policies and
overwriting the Diffserv code point fields are supported in the Summit 300-48 switch.
Figure 14 shows the encapsulation of an IP packet header.
