Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
Introduction
Packet Types and Evaluation Order
The switches covered by this chapter provide two QoS types
Search Order | Precedence | QoS type |
1 | 2 | Interface - Incoming |
2 | 1 (highest) | IP Type of Service (ToS) field (IP packets only) |
|
|
|
The switches use the
N o t e | Intermixing |
| |
| recommended, as this can result in a packet with an 802.1p priority assigned |
| by one type and a DSCP policy by another type. This is because the search |
| order would allow a lower precedence type configured with a DSCP policy to |
| change both the DSCP and the 802.1p setting in a packet, and then would allow |
| a subsequent, higher precedence type configured with an 802.1p priority rule |
| to change only the 802.1p setting. To avoid this problem, a DSCP policy option |
| should be applied only on the |
| or applied to all QoS types in use on the switch. |
