DSCP (differentiated services code point)

In QoS, a modification of the type of service byte. Six bits of this byte are being reallocated for use as the DSCP field, where each DSCP specifies a particular per-hop behavior that is applied to a packet. Support for DSCP still is lacking in some network equipment, however (see RFC 2474). DSCP is not compatible with IP Precedence.
