11.1.1 What You Can Do in the QoS Screens
•Use the QoS screen (Section 11.2 on page 103) to configure QoS settings on
the P-660RU-Tx.
•Use the QoS Settings Summary screen (Section 11.2.1 on page 105) to check
the summary of QoS rules and actions you configured for the P-660RU-Tx.
11.1.2 What You Need to Know About QoS
802.1p
QoS is used to prioritize source-to-destination traffic flows. All packets in the same
flow are given the same priority. 802.1p is a way of managing traffic in a network
by grouping similar types of traffic together and treating each type as a class. You
can use 802.1p to give different priorities to different packet types.
Tagging and Marking
In a QoS class, you can configure whether to add or change the DiffServ Code
Point (DSCP) value, IEEE 802.1p priority level and VLAN ID number in a matched
packet. When the packet passes through a compatible network, the networking
device, such as a backbone switch, can provide specific treatment or service
based on the tag or marker.
