How is 802.1p Priority Set?
IP packets are classified and marked into different priority levels and the
markings are transported through a type of service (ToS) octet in the
IPv4 header and a traffic class field in the IPv6 header.

IPv4 header and a traffic class field in the IPv6 header.
HP-UX end stations transmit IPv4 type-of-service (ToS) values but do
not enforce priority. The end stations perform ToS-to-802.1p conversion
and vice-versa for IP packets depending on how the VLAN overrides are
set. They also allow 802.1p priority setting for non-IP packets.

Priority may be set by user, destination address, input port, output port,
access priority, or by VLAN. User priority is a 3-bit field which allows
priority information to be encoded in the frame. The eight levels of IEEE
802.1p recommended user priorities are shown in Table 2-3.
