Description: The IP traffic precedence parameters in each packet are used to guide the selection of the actual service parameters when transmitting a datagram through a particular network. Most network treats high precedence traffic as more important than other traffic. The IP Precedence value ranges from '0' to '7', with '7' the highest precedence and '0' the lowest precedence.

This object sets criteria for matching the IP packet precedence parameter. The object value '-1' means to match packets of any IP precedence. In other words, the IP precedence parameter will not to checked if this object is '-1'. The precedence level are:

routine(0) - Routine traffic precedence priority(1) - Priority traffic precedence immediate(2) - Immediate traffic precedence flash(3) - Flash traffic precedence flashOverride(4) - Flash-override traffic precedence critical(5) - Critical precedence internet(6) - Internetwork control traffic precedence network(7) - Network control traffic precedence.
