    \section intro QoS Technologies

    QoS settings are available for both Layer 2 and 3 of TCP/IP protocols:

    \subsection intro_ieee8021p Layer 2: IEEE 802.1p for Ethernet

    IEEE 802.1p tagging will mark frames sent by a host for prioritized 
    delivery using a 3-bit Priority field in the virtual local area network 
    (VLAN) header of the Ethernet frame. The VLAN header is placed inside 
    the Ethernet header, between the Source Address field and either the 
    Length field (for an IEEE 802.3 frame) or the EtherType field (for an
    Ethernet II frame).

    \subsection intro_wmm Layer 2: WMM

    At the Network Interface layer for IEEE 802.11 wireless, the Wi-Fi 
    Alliance certification for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) defines four access 
    categories for prioritizing network traffic. These access categories 
    are (in order of highest to lowest priority) voice, video, best-effort, 
    and background. Host support for WMM prioritization requires that both 
    wireless network adapters and their drivers support WMM. Wireless 
    access points (APs) must have WMM enabled.

    \subsection intro_dscp Layer 3: DSCP

    At the Internet layer, you can use Differentiated Services/Diffserv and
    set the value of the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) in the 
    IP header. As defined in RFC 2474, the DSCP value is the high-order 6 bits
    of the IP version 4 (IPv4) TOS field and the IP version 6 (IPv6) Traffic 
    Class field.

    \subsection intro_other Layer 3: Other

    Other mechanisms exist (such as RSVP, IntServ) but this will not be 
    implemented.


    \section availability QoS Availability

    \subsection linux Linux

    DSCP is available via IP TOS option.

    Ethernet 802.1p tagging is done by setting setsockopt(SO_PRIORITY) option 
    of the socket, then with the set_egress_map option of the vconfig utility 
    to convert this to set vlan-qos field of the packet.

    WMM is not known to be available.

    \subsection windows Windows and Windows Mobile

    (It's a mess!)

    DSCP is settable with setsockopt() on Windows 2000 or older, but Windows 
    would silently ignore this call on WinXP or later, unless administrator 
    modifies the registry. On Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 
    2003, GQoS (Generic QoS) API is the standard API, but this API may not be
    supported in the future. On Vista and Windows 7, the is a new QoS2 API, 
    also known as Quality Windows Audio-Video Experience (qWAVE).

    IEEE 802.1p tagging is available via Traffic Control (TC) API, available
    on Windows XP SP2, but this needs administrator access. For Vista and 
    later, it's in qWAVE.

    WMM is available for mobile platforms on Windows Mobile 6 platform and 
    Windows Embedded CE 6, via setsockopt(IP_DSCP_TRAFFIC_TYPE). qWAVE 
    supports this as well.

    \subsection symbian Symbian S60 3rd Ed

    Both DSCP and WMM is supported via RSocket::SetOpt() with will set both 
    Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS settings accordingly. Internally, PJLIB sets the
    DSCP field of the socket, and based on certain DSCP values mapping,
    Symbian will set the WMM tag accordingly.

    \section api PJLIB's QoS API Abstraction

    Based on the above, the following API is implemented.

    Declare the following "standard" traffic types.

    \code
     typedef enum pj_qos_type
     {
        PJ_QOS_TYPE_BEST_EFFORT,
        PJ_QOS_TYPE_BACKGROUND, 
        PJ_QOS_TYPE_VIDEO,
        PJ_QOS_TYPE_VOICE,
        PJ_QOS_TYPE_CONTROL,
        PJ_QOS_TYPE_SIGNALLING
     } pj_qos_type;
    \endcode

    The traffic classes above will determine how the Layer 2 and 3 QoS 
    settings will be used. The standard mapping between the classes above 
    to the corresponding Layer 2 and 3 settings are as follows:

    \code
    =================================================================
    PJLIB Traffic Type  IP DSCP         WMM                 802.1p
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    BEST_EFFORT         0x00            BE (Bulk Effort)        0
    BACKGROUND          0x08            BK (Bulk)               2
    VIDEO               0x28            VI (Video)              5
    VOICE               0x30            VO (Voice)              6
    CONTROL             0x38            VO (Voice)              7
    SIGNALLING          0x28            VI (Video)              5
    =================================================================
    \endcode

    There are two sets of API provided to manipulate the QoS parameters.

    \subsection portable_api Portable API

    The first set of API is:

    \code
     // Set QoS parameters
     PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pj_sock_set_qos_type(pj_sock_t sock,
                                               pj_qos_type val);

     // Get QoS parameters
     PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pj_sock_get_qos_type(pj_sock_t sock,
                                               pj_qos_type *p_val);
    \endcode

    The API will set the traffic type according to the DSCP class, for both 
    Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS settings, where it's available. If any of the 
    layer QoS setting is not settable, the API will silently ignore it. 
    If both layers are not setable, the API will return error.

    The API above is the recommended use of QoS, since it is the most 
    portable across all platforms.

    \subsection detail_api Fine Grained Control API

    The second set of API is intended for application that wants to fine 
    tune the QoS parameters.

    The Layer 2 and 3 QoS parameters are stored in pj_qos_params structure:

    \code
     typedef enum pj_qos_flag
     {
        PJ_QOS_PARAM_HAS_DSCP = 1,
        PJ_QOS_PARAM_HAS_SO_PRIO = 2,
        PJ_QOS_PARAM_HAS_WMM = 4
     } pj_qos_flag;

     typedef enum pj_qos_wmm_prio
     {
        PJ_QOS_WMM_PRIO_BULK_EFFORT,
        PJ_QOS_WMM_PRIO_BULK,
        PJ_QOS_WMM_PRIO_VIDEO,
        PJ_QOS_WMM_PRIO_VOICE
     } pj_qos_wmm_prio;

     typedef struct pj_qos_params
     {
        pj_uint8_t      flags;    // Determines which values to 
                                  // set, bitmask of pj_qos_flag
        pj_uint8_t      dscp_val; // The 6 bits DSCP value to set
        pj_uint8_t      so_prio;  // SO_PRIORITY value
        pj_qos_wmm_prio wmm_prio; // WMM priority value
     } pj_qos_params;
    \endcode

    The second set of API with more fine-grained control over the parameters 
    are:

    \code
     // Retrieve QoS params for the specified traffic type
     PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pj_qos_get_params(pj_qos_type type, 
                                            pj_qos_params *p);

     // Set QoS parameters to the socket
     PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pj_sock_set_qos_params(pj_sock_t sock,
                                                 const pj_qos_params *p);

     // Get QoS parameters from the socket
     PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pj_sock_get_qos_params(pj_sock_t sock,
                                                 pj_qos_params *p);
    \endcode


    Important:

    The pj_sock_set/get_qos_params() APIs are not portable, and it's probably 
    only going to be implemented on Linux. Application should always try to 
    use pj_sock_set_qos_type() instead.
