Table 3-9: QoS of Ethernet Service Options (Continued)

Field

Description

 

 

DiffServ and

DiffServ and Precedence are two methods for

Precedence

encoding the packet’s priority in the packet header.

 

If you are not sure which QoS policy your router

 

supports, select Precedence combined with None

 

in the TOS field.

 

Select DiffServ when the network router uses

 

DiffServ for priority encoding).

 

Note: If you select DiffServ but your router does

 

not support this standard, IP packets queue on

 

the same communication links with data packets

 

greatly increasing the latency and jitter in their

 

delivery.

 

Select Precedence when the network router

 

uses Precedence for priority encoding, or when

 

you are not sure which method is used by the

 

router.

 

 

Audio and Video

You can prioritize audio and video IP packets to

 

ensure that all participants in the conference hear

 

and see each other clearly.

 

Select the desired priority.

 

The recommended priority for both audio and video

 

is 4 to ensure that the delay for both packets is the

 

same and audio and the video packets are

 

synchronized.

 

 

TOS

Type of Service (TOS) defines optimization tagging

 

for routing the conferences audio and video packets.

 

Delay – The recommended default for video

 

conferencing.

 

None – No optimization definition is applied.

 

Select None if you do not know which standard your

 

router supports.
