DSCP Definition: DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) is a 6-bit value in an IP packet header used for Quality of Service (QoS) purposes to prioritize network traffic based on defined classes.
DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) is a field within an IP packet header that specifies the Quality of Service (QoS) level for traffic passing through a network. It assists network devices in prioritizing and managing data traffic to ensure efficient delivery of packets based on specified rules and policies. DSCP values are used to classify and differentiate types of traffic, helping to maintain performance and prioritize critical data in complex network environments.
