Appendix D: RPLC-201P QoS Support 

RPLC-201P allows for 4 levels of Channel Access Priority (CAP (0 

– 3)). The 8 levels 

of VLAN Ethernet tags must be mapped to the 4 levels of CAP priority, where CAP 3 

is the highest priority and CAP 0 is the lowest. CAP 3 priority might be used for voice 

and network management frames, and CAP 2 is used for streaming HD video and 

music while CAP 1 and CAP 0 are used for data.   

Default CAP 

The „Default CAP‟ group allows for default priority mapping of packets that do not 

have a VLAN TAG. The settings are available for Unicast (directed to a host). 

 

Unicast  -  (default  CAP  1)  -  sets  the  default  channel  access  priority  for 

unicast frames not matching any other classification or mapping. 

 

IGMP  managed  Multicast  Stream  (Fixed  to  CAP  2)  -  sets  the  default 

channel  access  priority  for  stream  data  belonging  to  a  snooped  IGMP 

multicast group. 

 

IGMP - (default CAP 3) - sets the channel access priority for IGMP frames - 

these are the group management frames, not the stream data. 

 

Multicast/Broadcast  -  sets  the  default  CAP  for  multicast  frames  not  in  a 

snooped group and for broadcast frames. 

The following are the factory fixed settings for QoS Priority: 

 

1st: Network Management Frames and Voice

 

 

2nd: Video and Music Streaming

 

 

3rd: Data Streaming
