Netgear DGFV338 QoS configuration for DGFV338 - Page 5

What changes do the ToS settings make to the packet headers?

Page 5 highlights

What changes do the ToS settings make to the packet headers? In the IPv4 packet header, the second byte (bits 9-16) is designated "Type Of Service" (ToS). The use of this byte has changed as different QoS standards have been established. I shall refer to these different standards as "Original ToS", "RFC1349 ToS", and "DSCP": Original ToS: Precedence Precedence Precedence Minimize Maximize Maximize Unused Unused Delay Throughput Reliability RFC 1349 ToS: Precedence Precedence Precedence Minimize Maximize Maximize Minimize Unused Delay Throughput Reliability Cost Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP): DSCP DSCP DSCP DSCP DSCP DSCP ECT Explicit Congestion Notification Capable Transport ECN Explicit Congestion Notification The DGFV338 complies with RFC1349, and it's ToS settings cause the following values to be set in the ToS byte of packets exiting the WAN port: Normal Service Minimize Delay Maximize Throughput Maximize Reliability Minimize Cost Precedence 0 0 0 0 0 Precedence 0 0 0 0 0 Precedence 0 0 0 0 0 Minimize Delay 0 1 0 0 0 Maximize Throughput 0 0 1 0 0 Maximize Reliability 0 0 0 1 0 Minimize Cost 0 0 0 0 1 Unused 0 0 0 0 0 Decimal 0 16 8 4 2 Hex DSCP 0 0 Ox10 4 0x08 2 0x04 1 0x02 0

What changes do the ToS settings make to the packet headers?
In the IPv4 packet header, the second byte (bits 9-16) is
designated “Type Of Service” (ToS).
The use of this byte has changed as different QoS standards have been established.
I shall refer to these
different
standards as “Original ToS”, “
RFC
1349 ToS”, and “DSCP”:

The DGFV338 complies with RFC1349, and it’s ToS settings cause the following values to be set in the
ToS byte of packets exiting the WAN port:
