Traffic Prioritization
Description
Supported on all ports.
Store and Forward.
8K
2816: 32Gbps
2824: 48Gbps
Supported on all ports.
The Switch offers priority queuing, which
means all packets that are received are
examined to see if they have been priority
encoded. When a packet is received, the
Switch will read the priority level and
determine the appropriate queue to
forward the packet based on the priority
level. High priority data is forwarded
through the Switch without being delayed
by lower priority data.
This feature can be useful, for example,
during excessive loads when one type of
traffic may require priority over another.
The Switch is configured to comply with
802.1 p, VLAN tagged frames.
Notes:
The traffic prioritization feature supported
by the Switch is compatible with the
relevant sections of the IEEE 802.1 D
standard (incorporating IEEE 802.1 p).
