LABEL DESCRIPTION
Priority Queue Assignment
The following descriptions are based on the traffic types defined in the IEEE 802.1d standard (which incorporates
the 802.1p). To map a priority level to a physical queue, select a physical queue from the drop-down menu on the
right.
Priority 7 Typically used for network control traffic such as router configuration messages.
Priority 6 Typically used for voice traffic that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter is the variations in delay).
Priority 5 Typically used for video that consumes high bandwidth and is sensitive to jitter.
Priority 4 Typically used for controlled load, latency-sensitive traffic such as SNA (Systems Network
Architecture) transactions.
Priority 3 Typically used for “excellent effort” or better than best effort and would include important business
traffic that can tolerate some delay.
Priority 2 This is for “spare bandwidth”.
Priority 1 This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk transfers that are allowed but
that should not affect other applications and users.
Priority 0 Typically used for best-effort traffic.

if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your
changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
