IP Version 6 (IPv6) Support
The device functions as an IPv6-compliant host, as well as an IPv4 host (also
known as dual stack). This enables device operation in a pure IPv6 network as
well as in a combined IPv4/IPv6 network.

Head of Line Blocking Prevention
Head of Line (HOL) blocking results in traffic delays and frame loss caused
by traffic competing for the same egress port resources. The switch prevents
HOL blocking by queueing packets, such that packets in the front of a queue
do not block the packets behind if they are to be sent to different ports.
Back Pressure Support
On half-duplex links, the receiving port prevents buffer overflows by
occupying the link so that it is unavailable for additional traffic.

Virtual Cable Testing (VCT)
VCT
detects and reports copper link cabling faults, such as open cables and
cable shorts.

Auto-Negotiation
Auto-negotiation enables the device to advertise modes of operation. The
auto-negotiation function enables an exchange of information between two
devices that share a point-to-point link segment, and automatically
configures both devices to take maximum advantage of their transmission
capabilities.
