802.1p User Priority
When using 802.1p priority mechanism, the packet is examined for the presence of a valid 802.1p priority tag. If the tag is present,
the packet is assigned to a programmable egress queue based on the value of the tagged priority. The tagged priority can be
designated to any of the available queues.
The Switch allows the assignment of a class of service to each of the 802.1p priorities. To view this window click

NOTICE: The default CoS scheduling arrangement is a strict priority schedule for the
highest class (Class-3) which means the Switch will consider the highest class of
service to have strict scheduling only, while the other queues empty in a round-robin
method.
