Output Queue Aging Time
This function is used to avoid the traffic jam that happens on one port
won’t cause the
congestion of other ports. In some application, for example the IPTV Multicast
communication, the multicast stream is continuously generating from the source port, the
client port may be congested because of the limited bandwidth or slow network processing
ability. Then, the Pause frame of Flow Control will be generated once the packet buffer is full.
With the Output Queue Aging Time feature, when a packet is stored at output queue in a
switch for a long time will be aged out and become a useless packet.
Aging Time
This command allows user to disable the feature or configure the aging timeout time to
200ms, 400ms, 600ms or 800ms.
VLAN Striding
For some network environment, the network administrator probably want to filter undesired
broadcast or multicast packet to enhance the network bandwidth utilization and forward
meaningful unicast to a specific destination. VLAN is a good mechanism to block broadcast
packet, but it can also block the unicast packet communication between VLANs. To solve this
issue, a special function called “VLAN striding” is designed to achieve this purpose. If VLAN
striding is enabled, the packet will be forwarded to the destination port directly, the unicast
packet can stride across VLAN.
VLAN Striding
By selecting this function, the switch will forward unicast packets to the destination port, no
matter whether destination port is in the same VLAN.
