Kenneth, not sure if someone already answered this. But there is a good
paper at NMC about this and it basically says that Cisco calls Dot1p when
voice and data are on the same vlan if I remember well. When on separate
vlans then Cisco calls it Dot1Q,

Subject: 802.1q/p

Is 802.1p just the ISO standard nomenclature for the IP COS bits in an
802.1q frame? In other words, if a question says "make sure to use 802.1p
for QoS" or "make sure to set high priority with 802.1p", does this just
mean make sure to set the COS bits within an 802.1q frame?

Sorry if this seems like a basic question, but I can't find any
documentation that specifically solidifies this concept. I just want to
make sure that I completely understand what is implied when a requirement is
presented to employ 802.1p.

Thanks!
