Quality of Service (QoS)
The QoS technology based on layer 2 and the two QoS technologies Diffserv and TOS/IP Pre-
cedence based on layer 3 are allowing the VoIP application to request and receive predictable
service levels in terms of data throughput capacity (bandwidth), latency variations (jitter), and
delay.

Layer 2 / 802.1p
QoS on layer 2 is using 3 Bits in the 802.1q/p 4-Byte VLAN tag which has to be added in the
Ethernet header.
