Overview of 802 1P And Dscp Qos
The following example shows how to set the interface mode as dot1p, specify the 802.1p priority as 4, specify the DSCP priority as 10 and enable the CoS override mode for port 1/0/3:
Description Quality of Service ( QoS ) adds the ability to recognize, map, modify, and generate the industry-standard 802.1p and Differentiated Services Code Points ( DSCP ) Class of Service (CoS) designators.
Assigning an 802.1p priority to IPv4 packets on the basis of incoming DSCP
When enabled, the switch applies direct 802.1p prioritization to all packets having codepoints that meet these prerequisites: The codepoint is configured with an 802.1p priority in the DSCP Differentiated Services Code Point. A means of classifying and managing network traffic and providing quality of service ( QoS ) in modern Layer 3 IP networks.

What is QoS and how do I manually configure it on my ...
QoS helps to keep your most important devices running quickly during periods of peak network congestion. The other kind of QoS , 802 . 1p / DSCP , is based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.1p standard for network traffic classification.
Marking is when you apply whatever type of QoS marking you want on the recognized packets. 802.1p is kind of the lowest common denominator. Marking with a CoS bit (0-7) is pretty universal and every network device should support it, but it's crude and less sophisticated than DSCP .
Implement QoS Policies with Differentiated Services Code Point
This document describes how to set the Differentiated Services Code Point ( DSCP ) values in Quality of Service ( QoS ) configurations on a Cisco router.
To do so, assign the desired 802.1p priority to the same codepoint that the upstream or edge switch assigns to the selected packets. When the downstream switch receives an IPv4 packet carrying one of these codepoints, it assigns the configured priority to the packet and sends it out the appropriate priority queue.
IEEE P802.1p
IEEE P802. 1p was a task group active from 1995 to 1998, responsible for adding traffic class expediting and dynamic multicast filtering to the IEEE 802 .1D standard. The task group developed a mechanism for implementing quality of service ( QoS ) at the media access control (MAC) level.
802.1p is a quality of service (QoS)/class of service (CoS) method that operates at the MAC layer (Layer 2). Equipment that supports 802.1p can add and recognize a value that indicates the priority level of the Ethernet frame. 802.1p can help to ensure a high level of quality for real-time communications that are sensitive to latency, such as VoIP.
