Automatic Priority Queue Assignment - ZyXEL Communications XMG3512-B10A User Manual

IP Precedence
Similar to IEEE 802.1p prioritization at layer-2, you can use IP precedence to prioritize packets in a layer-3
network. IP precedence uses three bits of the eight-bit ToS (Type of Service) field in the IP header. There
are eight classes of services (ranging from zero to seven) in IP precedence. Zero is the lowest priority
level and seven is the highest.

Automatic Priority Queue Assignment

If you enable QoS on the XMG, the XMG can automatically base on the IEEE 802.1p priority level, IP
precedence and/or packet length to assign priority to traffic which does not match a class.
The following table shows you the internal layer-2 and layer-3 QoS mapping on the XMG. On the XMG,
traffic assigned to higher priority queues gets through faster while traffic in lower index queues is
dropped if the network is congested.
