InZernet Protocol version 2

IPv2 builds on top of Ethernet. An IPv2 packet looks like:

Version Traffic Class Next Header Hop Limit Source Address Destination Address Payload
Version of the IP packet Differential services Specifies type of next header Value decremented by one at each intermediate node visited by the packet. Source Destination The data

Values for Version

Value Description
1 For IPv1 (deprecated) and only works on CC
2 By default, this is used

Values for Traffic Class

Best effort is used by default. Unless there is a lot of congestion, packet is likely to end up to the destination.

Value Meaning Description Drop Probability
0 (Default) Best effort Tries to deliver the packet as best as possible N/A
46 Expedited forwarding Delivers the packet as fast as possible N/A
10 Priority Latency Focuses on low latency. Will drop if latency is high. Expedited forwarding packets have higher precedence over Priority Best effort Low
12 Priority Through Focuses on delivery. Does not drop but Expedited forwarding has precedence Medium
18 Immediate Latency Focuses on low latency. Will drop if latency is high. Priority packets have higher precedence over Immediate and Best effort Low
20 Immediate Through Focuses on delivery. Does not drop but Priority and Expedited forwarding has precedence Medium

Values for Next Header

Code Keyword Protocol
1 ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol
3 GGP Gateway-to-Gateway Protocol
6 TCP Transmission Control Protocol
17 UDP User Datagram Protocol

Values for Hop Limit

Values can be anywhere from 0 to (infinity). We recommend at least 64. (Please don't put over 255+, I really doubt your network is that big)
