DSCP markings

NetProfiler tracks DSCP markings associated with traffic flows in the network. It can report which class of service tags were seen by devices that report flow data. The presence or absence of specified DSCP markings can be used as reporting and alerting criteria.

All DSCP reporting in the NetProfiler is based on the 6-bit Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP). By default, the NetProfiler uses a standard set of definitions for DSCP values. You can modify these or define additional names and descriptions on the Definitions > DSCP page.

The DSCP page lists DSCP markings by their decimal, binary, and hexadecimal values, and by names and descriptions. Click any column heading to sort by ascending or descending order.

To edit an existing DSCP marking name or description, or to add a new one:

1. Go to the Definitions > DSCP page.

2. Click Edit.

3. Edit the name and description fields as necessary.

4. Click Save.
