KS8995XA
The KS8995XA can classify tagged packets using the 802.1p tag-based priority. In this prioritization scheme, the user can
enable the 802.1p classification on a per port basis in bit 5 of registers 0x10, 0x20, 0x30, 0x40 and 0x50 for ports 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 5, respectively. Then the user specifies the 802.1p base priority in register 0x02, bits [6-4]. When a tagged packet is
received, the KS8995XA examines the 3 bit 802.1p priority field shown in Figure 8. These 3 bits are compared against the base
priority. The prioritization policy is as follows:
In order to support QoS from end-to-end in a network, the KS8995XA can also classify packets based on the IPv4 DiffServ
field shown in Figure 9.
The DiffServ field consists of 6 bits, which can be used to specify 64 code points. The KS8995XA provides 64 bits (DSCP[63:0])
in 8 registers (0x60 to 0x67), in which the user specifies the priority of each of the 64 code points. The DiffServ classification
is enabled on a per port basis in bit 6 of registers 0x10, 0x20, 0x30, 0x40 and 0x50 for ports 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. If
the DiffServ classification is enabled on a port, the KS8995XA will decode the IPv4 DiffServ field and look at the user defined
code point bit to determine if the packet is high priority or low priority. If the code point is a ‘1’, the packet is high priority. If the
code point is ‘0’, the packet is low priority.
