Answer:

DiffServ (Differentiated Service)

Step-by-step explanation:

DiffServ (Differentiated Service) field is used to prioritize traffic in IPv4 packet.

DiffServ is used as QoS (quality of service) on networks at Layer 3, replacing former IPv4 TOS field to effectively deal with the web traffic and prioritization issues starting from 1998.
