802.1p
Select this option to Activate/Deactivated the 802.1p IEEE 802.1p establishes eight levels of
priority (0 ~ 7). Although network managers must determine actual mappings, IEEE has
made broad recommendations. Seven is the highest priority which is usually assigned to
network-critical traffic such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path
First (OSPF) table updates. Five and six are often for delay-sensitive applications such as
interactive video and voice. Data classes four through one range from controlled-load
applications such as streaming multimedia and business-critical traffic - carrying SAP data,
for instance - down to "loss eligible" traffic. Zero is used as a best-effort default priority,
invoked automatically when no other value has been set.
