The switch can perform the following actions to the DSCP:

„Read the DSCP value of ingress packets.

„Map the DSCP value to an 802.1p priority.

The switch can use the DSCP value to direct traffic prioritization.

With DiffServ, you can establish policies to direct traffic. A policy is a traffic-controlling mechanism that monitors the characteristics of the traffic, (for example, its source, destination, and protocol) and performs a controlling action on the traffic when certain characteristics are matched.
