and dots as separators between octets.
An IPv4 dotted decimal address has the form x.y.z.w, where x, y, z, and w are decimal
numbers between 0 and 255.
Drop Precedence Level
Every incoming frame is classified to a
throughout the device for providing congestion control guarantees to the frame according to
what was configured for that specific DP level. A DP level of 0 (zero) corresponds to
'Committed' (Green) frames and a DP level of 1 or higher corresponds to 'Discard Eligible'
(Yellow) frames.
DSCP
DSCP is an acronym for Differentiated Services Code Point. It is a field in the header of IP
packets for packet classification purposes.

Fast Leave
Multicast snooping
forwarding-table entry without first sending out group specific queries to the interface. The
VLAN interface is pruned from the multicast tree for the multicast group specified in the
original leave message. Fast-leave processing ensures optimal bandwidth management for all
hosts on a switched network, even when multiple multicast groups are in use simultaneously.
refers to a method of writing IP addresses using decimal numbers
Drop Precedence Level
Fast Leave processing allows the switch to remove an interface from the
