Benefits of QoS Offload

The QoS offload feature protects the control packets when Satellite fabric links (SFL) is congested. The
offloading of QoS policies helps to drop excess traffic at the ingress direction (or access ports) and prioritize
the protocol control traffic at the egress direction (or SFL).
