QoS 4

The 4600 Series IP Telephones support both IEEE 802.1D/Q and DiffServ, and may in the future

support other, possibly proprietary, procedures for implementing Quality of Service. In addition,

other network-based QoS initiatives such as UDP port selection do not require support by the

telephones, but nonetheless can contribute to improved QoS for the entire network.

IEEE 802.1D and 802.1Q 4

IEEE’s 802.1Q standard defines a tag that can be added to voice and data packets. Most of the

information associated with this tag deals with Virtual LAN (VLAN) management, but 3 bits are

reserved for identifying packet priority. These 3 bits allow any one of 8 priorities to be assigned to a

specific packet. As defined in the standard, the 8 priorities are, from highest to lowest:

■7: Network management traffic

■6: Voice traffic with less than 10ms latency

■5: Voice traffic with less than 100ms latency

■4: “Controlled-load” traffic (mission-critical data applications)

■3: Traffic meriting “extra-effort” by the network for prompt delivery (for example, executives’

e-mail)

■2: Reserved for future use

■0: Traffic meriting the network’s “best-effort” for pr ompt delivery (the default priority)
