Advanced Quality of Service
Classication, reclassication, policing, and marking the trafc prior to delivery
Identication, classication, and reclassication based on specic criteria (ACL-based)
including port, source/destination MAC address
802.1p priority bit, source/destination IP address, Type of Service (ToS), Differentiated
Services Control Point (DSCP) elds, or the Transmission Control Protocol/User Datagram
Protocol (TCP/UDP) port
Flexible queue servicing utilizing congurable Weighted Round Robin (WRR), Strict Priority
(SP), or combined SP/WRR
8 hardware queues for exible QoS management
Ingress rate limiting—standard and extended ACL control, per VLAN, per port
Egress rate shaping per port
