+# Quality of Service (QoS) using Differentiated services
+
+Differentiated services or DiffServ is a mechanism for classifying network traffic and providing quality of service on IP networks.
+DiffServ uses dedicated fields in the IP header for packet classification purposes.
+By marking outgoing packets using a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) the network can prioritize accordingly.
+
+The DSCP value on outgoing packets is controlled by the following channel argument:
+
+* **GRPC_ARG_DSCP**
+  * This channel argument accepts integer values 0 to 63. See [dscp-registry](https://www.iana.org/assignments/dscp-registry/dscp-registry.xhtml) for details.
+  * Default value is to use system default, i.e. not set.
+  * Only apply to POSIX systems.
