Configuring Differentiated Services for VoIP
One of the most valuable uses of DiffServ is to support Voice over IP (VoIP). VoIP traffic is inherently time-
sensitive: for a network to provide acceptable service, a guaranteed transmission rate is vital. This example
shows one way to provide the necessary quality of service: how to set up a class for UDP traffic, have that
traffic marked on the inbound side, and then expedite the traffic on the outbound side. The configuration
script is for Router 1 in the accompanying diagram: a similar script should be applied to Router 2.
