Network Load Control
Data packets can contain prioritizing/QoS information:

VLAN priority based on IEEE 802.1Q/ 802.1D (Layer 2)
8.4.2

VLAN tagging

The VLAN tag is integrated into the MAC data frame for the VLAN and
Prioritization functions in accordance with the IEEE 802 1Q standard. The
VLAN tag consists of 4 bytes. It is inserted between the source address field
and the type field.
For data packets with a VLAN tag, the device evaluates:
 the priority information and
 the VLAN information if VLANs have been set.
Data packets with VLAN tags containing priority information but no VLAN
information (VLAN ID = 0), are known as Priority Tagged Frames.
