Features and benefits
Quality of Service (QoS)
Selectable queue configuration
performance and/or traffic reliability can be increased by selecting the number of queues that best meet the requirements of
network applications; the switch will map 8 priorities to either 2 or 4 queues
Class of Service (CoS)
sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source
port, and DiffServ
Layer 4 prioritization
enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p)
allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to four queues
Rate limiting
per-port ingress-enforced maximum
Flow control
helps ensure reliable communications during full-duplex operation
Type of service
IP precedence
honors IP precedence bits and allows mapping to a priority queue
Differentiated Services Code Point values
honors Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) bits and allows mapping to a priority queue
