SonicOS 7.1 Objects

Site to Site VPN over QoS Capable Networks

If the network path between the two endpoints is QoS aware, SonicOS can DSCP tag:

  • The inner encapsulate packet so that it is interpreted correctly at the other side of the tunnel.
  • The outer ESP encapsulated packet so that its class can be interpreted and honored by each hop along the transit network.

SonicOS can map 802.1p tags created on the internal networks to DSCP tags so that they can safely traverse the transit network. When the packets are received on the other side, the receiving SonicWall appliance can translate the DSCP tags back to 802.1p tags for interpretation and honoring by that internal network.
