Classifying distinguishes one kind of traffic from another. • Policing determines whether a packet is in or out of profile according to the configured policer. • The policeralso limits the bandwidth consumed by a flow of traffic. Supermicro L2/L3 Switches Configuration Guide...
1.2.1 Classification and Marking Classification is the process of distinguishing one kind of traffic from another by examining the fieldsin the packet. Supermicro switches use ACL’s to specify the fields in the frame or packet based on which incoming IP traffic is classified.
• 1.3.1 Egress Queuing The CoS priority of a packet is mapped to a traffic class.Supermicro switchesprovide support to configure the mapping of CoS priority to a traffic class.Each traffic class is mapped to eight egress queues in the switch.
Based on CoS to egress queue mapping, packets with CoS value 7 are queued in Queue-7 and transmitted 1.3.2 Scheduling Supermicro switches support eight CoS queues for each egress port. For each of the eightqueues, various typesof scheduling can be configured: Strict Priority Strict priority scheduling is based on the priority of queues.
(voice, video, data, etc.). For IEEE 802.1Q frames with tag information, the priority value from the header frame is used. For native frames, the default priority of the input port is used. Supermicro switches allow users to configure the default port priority.
Traffic that exceeds the rate limit is dropped. Supermicro switches support output rate limits. 1.5 HOLBlocking Prevention Supermicro switches provide eight egress queues per port. Each queue has a dynamic packet limit based on the availability of packet buffer memory. When a switch receives packets at a fast rate destined to a particular egress port, its egress port queuesbecome filled up.
