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