Use the Traffic > Priority > PHB to Queue page to specify the hardware

output queues to use based on the internal per-hop behavior value. (For

more information on exact manner in which the ingress priority tags are

mapped to egress queues for internal processing, see

"Mapping CoS

Priorities to Internal DSCP Values" on page 232

).

The switch processes Class of Service (CoS) priority tagged traffic by using

four priority queues for each port, with service schedules based on strict

priority, Shaped Deficit Weighted Round-Robin (SDWRR), or a combination

of strict and weighted queuing. Up to eight separate traffic priorities are

defined in IEEE 802.1p. Default priority levels are assigned according to

recommendations in the IEEE 802.1p standard as shown in

Table 12

. The

following table indicates the default mapping of internal per-hop behavior

to the hardware queues. The actual mapping may differ if the CoS priorities

to internal DSCP values have been modified (

page 232

).

The priority levels recommended in the IEEE 802.1p standard for various

network applications are shown in

Table 13

. However, priority levels can be

mapped to the switch’s output queues in any way that benefits application

traffic for the network.
