Appendix C Introduction to packet precedences
IP precedence and DSCP values
Figure 37 ToS and DS fields
As shown in Figure 37, the ToS field in the IPv4 header contains 8 bits, where the first 3 bits (0 to 2)
represent IP precedence from 0 to 7. The Traffic Classes field in the IPv6 header contains 8 bits, where
the first 3 bits (0 to 2) represent IP precedence from 0 to 7. According to RFC 2474, the ToS field in the
IPv4 header or the Traffic Classes field in the IPv6 header is redefined as the DS field, where a DSCP
value is represented by the first 6 bits (0 to 5) and is in the range 0 to 63. The remaining 2 bits (6 and
7) are reserved.
