Figure 110. DiffServ Domain Example
To use the QoS tool set to configure a DiffServ domain:
1. As packets come into the domain at edge switches, replace their
DSCP value, if required.
ˆ Classify the packets according to the required characteristics. For
available options, see Chapter 14, “Classifiers” on page 281.
ˆ Assign the classifiers to flow groups and the flow groups to traffic
classes, with a different traffic class for each DiffServ code point
grouping within the DiffServ domain.
ˆ Give each traffic class the priority and/or bandwidth limiting
controls that are required for that type of packet within this part of
the domain.
ˆ Assign a DSCP value to each traffic class, to be written into the
TOS field of the packet header.
2. On switches and routers within the DiffServ domain, classify packets
according to the DSCP values that were assigned to traffic classes on
the edge switches.
ˆ Assign the classifiers to flow groups and the flow groups to traffic
classes, with a different traffic class for each DiffServ code point
grouping within the DiffServ domain.
ˆ Give each traffic class the priority and/or bandwidth limiting
controls that are required for that type of packet within this part of
the domain. These QoS controls need not be the same for each
