Chapter 15: Quality of Service

Section II: Advanced Operations

matches the number being used by the traffic. However, no unused 
tokens will accumulate in the bucket. If the traffic increases, the excess 
traffic will be discarded since no tokens are available for handling the 
increase.

If the traffic is below the maximum bandwidth, unused tokens will 
accumulate in the bucket since the actual bandwidth falls below the 
specified maximum. The unused tokens will be available for handling 
excess traffic should the traffic exceed the maximum bandwidth. 
Should an increase in traffic continue to the point where all the unused 
tokens are used up, packets will be discarded.

Unused tokens accumulate in the bucket until the bucket reaches 
maximum capacity, set by this parameter. When the maximum 
capacity of the bucket is reached, no extra tokens are added. The 
range is 4 to 512 Kbps.

Note

To use this parameter you must specify a maximum bandwidth 
using item 6 - Max Bandwidth. Specifying a token bucket size 
without also specifying a maximum bandwidth serves no function.

8 - Priority

Specifies the priority value in the IEEE 802.1p tag control field that 
traffic belonging to this traffic class is assigned. Priority values range 
from 0 to 7 with 0 being the lowest priority and 7 being the highest 
priority. Incoming frames are mapped into one of eight Class of 
Service (CoS) queues based on the priority value.

If you want the packets to retain the new value when they exit the 
switch, change option 9, Remark Priority, to Yes. 

If you specify a new user priority value here and in Flow Group, the 
value in Flow Group overwrites the value here. 

9 - Remark Priority

Replaces the user priority value in the packets with the new value 
specified in option 4, Priority, if set to Yes. If set to No, which is the 
default, the packets retain their preexisting priority level when they 
leave the switch.

A - ToS

Specifies a replacement value to write into the Type of Service (ToS) 
field of IPv4 packets. The range is 0 to 7.

If you specify a new ToS value here and in Flow Group, the value in 
Flow Group overwrites the value here.

B - Move ToS to Priority

If set to yes, replaces the value in the 802.1p priority field with the
