QoS Terminology
This section defines some QoS terminology:
•
Packets carry traffic at Layer 3.
•
Frames carry traffic at Layer 2. Layer 2 frames carry Layer 3 packets.
•
Labels are prioritization values carried in Layer 3 packets and Layer 2 frames:
–
Layer 2 class of service (CoS) values, which range between zero for low priority and seven for
high priority:
high priority:
Layer 2 Inter-Switch Link (ISL) frame headers have a 1-byte User field that carries an IEEE
802.1p CoS value in the three least significant bits.
802.1p CoS value in the three least significant bits.
Layer 2 802.1Q frame headers have a 2-byte Tag Control Information field that carries the CoS
value in the three most significant bits, which are called the User Priority bits.
value in the three most significant bits, which are called the User Priority bits.
Other frame types cannot carry Layer 2 CoS values.
