    For Ethernet switch or router that supports QoS, packets higher CoS priority should be transmitted first if network traffic is congested. DApps-QoS can limit acceptable network traffic at receiving port, analyze the traffic distribution of packets with different priority received from router or switch, and test the performance of Layer 3 Router, Switch with QoS function.
