IEEE 802.1p Priority Queues Support
With packet prioritization capability, the
DFE-550FX allows traffic to be queued
as critical and non-critical, permitting
your computer to run Voice over IP
(VoIP), video-conferencing/ multimedia
applications and other time-sensitive traffic
with higher priority than non-critical
data. This in turn helps to eliminate jitter
and lag in multimedia streams.
RPL and PXE Remote Boot Options
With RPL (Remote Program Load) and
PXE (Pre-boot Execution Environment)
support, administrators can choose to set up
a security scheme for diskless workstations
to boot from. Stations with boot ROMs
installed on the on-board socket can boot
from NetWare, NT and other servers to run
applications designated by the administrator.
