Ive came across the problem, that im not able to resolve, at least right now.
Therefore, the distribution switch should trust differentiated services code point dscp markings on ingress as these have been previously set by. On the eight fields, the upper six bit contain value called differentiated services code point dscp. But if you need qos and things are too slow, you need more bandwidth. Differentiated services code point dscp the definition of tos was changed entirely in rfc 2474, and it is now called differentiated service ds. These dscp values provide backward compatibility with precedence. Rfc 2474 definition of the differentiated services field.
