Setting DSCP Quality of Service Values
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is an IETF standard that uses 6 bits in
the IPv4 header's Type of Service (ToS) field to specify the class of service for
each packet. This enables you to apply differentiated grades of service to different
packet types.
You can modify the assigned DSCP Quality of Service (QoS) value for certain
types of traffic. This enables you to give priority to media traffic over control
traffic.
To enable modify the DSCP QoS values, perform these steps:
Step 1
From the main menu, choose Configure.
Step 2
Choose Network interface.
Step 3
Choose Set DSCP QoS values
Step 4
Choose one of the following options:
•
Media traffic—RTP packets carrying voice, fax, and modem calls
•
Control traffic—SCCP data packets carrying telephony control data
•
All other traffic—such as FTP, HTTP, SNMP, and so on
Step 5
Enter the new value for Media traffic or Control traffic from 0 to 63, using
decimal format.
By default, Media traffic is set to 46, and Control traffic is set to 26. You cannot
change the value for All other traffic; it is set to 0.
Step 6
Restart the DPA 7630/7610.
