Differentiated Services (DiffServ)
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is an alternative QoS architecture that is defined in
the following IETF standards:
RFC 2474 – Definition of the Differentiated Services Field (DS Field) in the IPv4
and IPv6 Headers
RFC 2475 – An Architecture for Differentiated Services
RFC 3260 – New Terminology and Clarifications for Diffserv
DiffServ utilizes Differentiated Services Field (DS Field) in the IP header to indicate
the service level of the corresponding IP packet. The Mediant 8000 supports
definition of this DS Field (values from 0 to 63) for each supported network service
class.
The DiffServ Field value may be configured as follows:
For OAM subnet (Network, Gold and Bronze service classes) – open the Media
Gateway’s
Network Settings
configuration screen and configure parameters in
the
Quality Of Service
tab.
For Media and Control subnets – open the Network Profile’s configuration screen
and configure parameters in the
Quality Of Service
tab.
