4.10 Priority

– 802.1p

There are two priority queues (high and low) on each port. Each port arbitrates between two

transmit queues (high and low priority).

The arbitration uses weighted round-robin between the high and low priority queues, and you

can adjust this weight.

Programmable Mapping of 802.1p to Internal Priority

The received packets with 802.1q tag are assigned priority according to a flexible and

programmable mapping of the 802.1p user-priority tag (3 bits, value from 0 to 7) to the internal

priority queue. The default is to assign a packet to high priority queue when the 802.1p

user-priority tag is 4 to 7, and to low priority queue when the 802.1p user-priority tag is 0 to 3.

Please check the corresponding mapping checkbox to assign a high priority or uncheck that to

assign a low priority.

4.11 Priority 2

– TOS (Type of Service)

Each port can parse the header of an incoming IPv4 header and identify the Type-Of-Service

byte (TOS field). This is extremely important with the deployment of Microsoft Windows 2000

and the emerging DiffServ standard, which marks Voice-Over-IP and other real-time traffic

using this field. This feature provides Quality of Service (QoS).
