Differentiated services: Classification and marking, Background & Traffic management mechanisms

Differentiated services or DiffServ is a computer networking architecture that specifies a mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic and providing quality of service (QoS) on modern IP networks. DiffServ can, for example, be used to provide low latency to critical network traffic such as voice or streaming media while providing best-effort…
