Hello,

You might want to check out RFC 2474, "Definition
of the Differentiated Services Field (DS Field)in
the IPv4 and IPv6 Headers".

It gives the how and the why DSCP is used.

Subject: [Diffserv] DSCP Field : doubt

Hi ,
I am working on the diffserv implementation here at
the NC State university.
I have a question...
How do we handle the tos byte or the DSCP field ?
In the rfc for Internet protocol (791) it is specified
that the precedence of the packet is denoted by the
first three bits of the TOS -BYTE.
Does the diffserv code point follow this rule ?or is
it modified ?

eagerly awaiting your response
thanking you in advance for your help,

Amit kulkarni
