User’s Manual

3.3.5 Priority Configuration

There are 7 priority levels that map traffic to two queues.

The High/Low

Queue Service Ratio (H:L) allows the user to select the ratio of high priority
packets to low priority packets processed by the switch.


First In First Out: The packets are sent out in the order they were
received.
High to Low: High priority packets are sent before low priority
packets.
Ratio: The user may select the precedence given to packets in the
switch's high-priority queue. These options represent the number of
high priority packets sent before one or more low priority packets are
sent. For example, a ratio of 5:2 means that the switch sends 5 high
priority packets before sending 2 low priority packets.
