CoS (Class of Service) The 802.1p priority scheme. CoS
provides a method for tagging packets with priority
information. A CoS value between 0-7 is added to the
Layer II header of packets, where zero is the lowest priority
and seven is the highest.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) A
networking protocol that allows administrators to assign
temporary IP addresses to network computers by “leasing”
an IP address to a user for a limited amount of time, instead
of assigning permanent IP addresses.
