  • Page 41: Quality Of Service (Qos)

    Web Configuration Port-Based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its associated port. When using port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN independent of the user or system attached to the port.

The Queue types are Weight Round Robin (WRR), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Best Effort (BE) and Strictly Priority (SP). Refer to the following page for more infor- mation on how each Queue Type operates.
  • Page 44 Black Box DeeSL.2 Ethernet Extender • Best Effort (BE): The BE Queue Type is used for data applications that have low priority or the potential to delay. BE does not use traffic priority or weight assignments, therefore BE is not recommended for high priority data, such as video or voice.

  • Page 49 Web Configuration Configuration Example. As an example, you can set the LB52xA-KIT to use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queuing that specifies a relative weight of each queue. WRR uses a predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the percentage of service time to provide each queue before moving on to the next queue. This pre- vents the head-of-line blocking that can occur with strict priority queuing.
  • Page 50 Black Box DeeSL.2 Ethernet Extender - Queue 1 Packets will go first because weight is equal to 15 (the biggest value). - Queue 3 Packets will go next because the weight is the second largest value. - Queue 2 Packets are the next after Queue 3 Packets.
