DSCP Precedence

279 views Asked by At

How can I use Java to obtain the Precedence part of a DiffServe Code Point (DSCP) integer? I expect it involves bit shifting, but for some reason I cannot seem to obtain the values I would have expected.

Assuming I understood you correctly, just perform a 3 bit logical shift to the right:

dscp >>> 3

Like this:

for (int dscp = 0; dscp < 57; dscp++) {
  System.out.println("DSCP:" + dscp + " Precedence:" + (dscp >>> 3));
}

Output:

DSCP:0 Precedence:0
DSCP:1 Precedence:0
DSCP:2 Precedence:0
DSCP:3 Precedence:0
DSCP:4 Precedence:0
DSCP:5 Precedence:0
