field to accommodate a set of differentiated services (DS). Under the

DSCP can form total 64 (0~63) kinds of Traffic Class based on the
arrangement of 6-bit field in DSCP of the IP packet. In the switch, user is
allowed to set up these 64 kinds of Class that belong to any of queue (low,
normal, medium, high).
