1.3 Introduction to QoS Features
1.3.1 Traffic Classification
Traffic here refers to service traffic; that is, all the packets passing the switch.
Traffic classification means identifying packets that conform to certain characteristics
according to certain rules. It is the foundation for providing differentiated services.
In traffic classification, the priority bit in the type of service (ToS) field in IP packet
header can be used to identify packets of different priorities. The network administrator
can also define traffic classification policies to identify packets by the combination of
source address, destination address, MAC address, IP protocol or the port number of
an application. Normally, traffic classification is done by checking the information
carried in packet header. Packet payload is rarely adopted for traffic classification. The
identifying rule is unlimited in range. It can be a quintuplet consisting of source address,
source port number, protocol number, destination address, and destination port number.
It can also be simply a network segment.
