NOTE: The DS header field defines and supersedes any definitions of the IPv4 TOS octet and the IPv6 Traffic Class octet.

Per Hop Behavior (PHB)

Defines how traffic belonging to a particular behavior aggregate is treated at an individual network node. PHB and sets of PHBs are encoded in an unsigned 16 bit binary field (compatible with most of the deployed forwarding treatments selected by the IP Precedence field).

Select the required Per Hop Behavior classification.
