Differentiated services or DiffServ is a simple and scalable mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic and providing quality of service (QoS) on IP networks. DiffServ can be used to ensure performance for applications that require low-latency such as voice or streaming media, while providing simple best-effort service to non-critical services such as web traffic or file transfers.

Kentik now supports two dimensions for QoS attributes, “ToS” and “DSCP”.
