DiffServ for VoIP Configuration Example
One of the most valuable uses of DiffServ is to support Voice over IP (VoIP). VoIP traffic is
inherently time-sensitive: for a network to provide acceptable service, a guaranteed
transmission rate is vital. This example shows one way to provide the necessary quality of
service: how to set up a class for UDP traffic, have that traffic marked on the inbound side, and
then expedite the traffic on the outbound side. The configuration script is for Router 1 in the
accompanying diagram: a similar script should be applied to Router 2.
