I think the original poster almost certainly meant IP Prec/CS 6/7, hence my response (it's a common question). And, yeah, hopefully I know where the IP Prec bits sit in the TOS octet :)

>> Management/diagnostics protocols: ICMP, NTP, Telnet-- all marked IP Prec/CS 6.

>> You'll notice that lack of protocols that marked CS7! There's a bit of confusion because IP Prec 6 is 'Internetwork Control' and IP Prec 7 is 'Network Control'. But Cisco routers don't mark any routing/control/management protocol traffic with IP Prec 7.
