Abstract

A system and method for providing Quality of Service in an Ethernet network. One or more telephony application programs are provided, along with an H.323 Recommendation stack, an IP layer, and modular Generate QoSEthernet and QoSEthernet layers. The Generate QoSEthernet layer is adapted to read Type of Service or Differentiated Service bytes and generate desired QoSEthernet commands therefrom. Either the Generate QoSEthernet layer or the QoSEthernet layer may be replaced or modified without necessarily having to modify the H.323 Recommendation stack and application program(s).
