The DSCP value determines the PHB (Per-Hop Behavior), that each packet gets as it is forwarded
across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule different kinds of traffic can be marked for
different priorities of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and
the configured policies.
DiffServ Network Example
The following figure depicts a DiffServ network consisting of a group of directly connected DiffServ-
compliant network devices. The boundary node (
A
in
) in a DiffServ network classifies
(marks with a DSCP value) the incoming packets into different traffic flows (
Platinum
,
Gold
,
Silver
,
Bronze
) based on the configured marking rules. A network administrator can then apply
various traffic policies to the traffic flows. An example traffic policy, is to give higher drop
precedence to one traffic flow over others. In our example, packets in the
Bronze
traffic flow are
more likely to be dropped when congestion occurs than the packets in the
Platinum
traffic flow as
they move across the DiffServ network.
