    2018-09-21 EVISED EATURES AND PECIFICATIONS . LP0991-G RAWING VERVIEW OF DVANCED EATURES 1.2.4 Quality of Service (QoS) QoS refers to resource reservation control mechanisms. QoS is the ability to provide different priorities to different applications, users, or data flows. QoS guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications such as Voice over IP, high resolution images, online games and IP-TV, since these often require fixed bit rate and are delay sensitive, and in networks where the capacity is a limited resource, for example in cellular data communication.

    2018-09-21 EATURES AND PECIFICATIONS EVISED . LP0991-G VERVIEW OF DVANCED EATURES RAWING 1.2.6 Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)  Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol as specified in IEEE 802.1D-2004, is supported. One Spanning Tree on one VLAN is supported. (RSTP supersedes the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) described in IEEE 802.1D-1998.) RSTP establishes a simply connected active network topology from the arbitrarily connected bridges of a bridged network.

Switches are configured for N-Ring membership, by default. Setting a switch as the N-Ring Manager is the only required step for enabling the ring as long as preset ports are used to connect ring members.
