1. DApps-QoS Overview 

Network QoS (quality of service) is a way to classify the transmission priority of packets while 
the volume of to-be-transmitted packets is beyond the Ethernet switch or router’s throughput 
capability. Packets with higher priorities are processed and transmitted first. For Ethernet 

frame, each packets can be tagged with a VLAN ID and CoS (class of service), and Layer 3 IP/UDP 
packets are marked according to the type of service they need. For Ethernet switch or router that supports 
QoS, packets higher CoS priority should be transmitted first if network traffic is congested. DApps-QoS can 
limit acceptable network traffic at receiving port, analyze the traffic distribution of packets with different 
priority received from router or switch, and test the performance of Layer 3 Router, Switch with QoS 
function. 

DApps-QoS is designed for Xtramus Technologies NuDOG series handheld Ethernet testing devices listed 
in the table down below:
