Ethernet CoS

Ethernet CoS refers to three bits within a four byte IEEE 802.1Q (VLAN) header used to indicate the priority of the Ethernet frame as it passes through a switched network. The CoS bits in the IEEE 802.1Q header are commonly referred to as the IEEE 802.1p bits. There are three CoS bits that provide eight classes, matching the number delivered by IP precedence. In many real-world networks, a packet might traverse both Layer 2 and Layer 3 domains. To maintain QoS across the network, the IP ToS can be mapped to the Ethernet CoS and vice versa, for example, in linear or one-to-one mapping, because each mechanism supports eight classes. Similarly, a set of DSCP values (64 classes) can be mapped into each of the eight individual Ethernet CoS values. Figure 12-2is an IEEE 802.1Q Ethernet frame, which consists of a 2-byte Ethertype and a 2-byte tag (IEEE 802.1Q Tag) on the Ethernet protocol header.
