. With QoS (Quality of Service) technology, you can classify and prioritize network traffic to provide differentiated services for certain types of traffic. 1.2 Supported Features With the QoS feature, the packets will be automatically discarded to avoid network broadcast storm. User Guide 61 - TP-Link TL-SG1428PE | Easy Smart SwitchUN User Guide - Page 66
802.1P Based and DSCP Based. ■■ Port Based The port based QoS mode supports four priority queues, which are labeled as 1 (Lowest), 2 (Normal), DSCP priority determines the priority of packets based on the ToS (Type of Service) field in their IP header. RFC2474 re-defines the ToS field in the Guide 62 - TP-Link TL-SG1428PE | Easy Smart SwitchUN User Guide - Page 67
that the packets from the port are mapped to. The priorities are labeled as 1, 2, 3 and 4. Among them, the bigger value means the higher priority. User Guide 63 - TP-Link TL-SG1428PE | Easy Smart SwitchUN User Guide - Page 68
but without IP header base on the PRI field. Finally, the switch prioritizes packets without VLAN tag or IP header based on port priority. User Guide 64 - TP-Link TL-SG1428PE | Easy Smart SwitchUN User Guide - Page 69
for sending packets on the port. If the rate for sending packets on the port exceeds the egress rate, the packets will be discarded. User Guide 65 - TP-Link TL-SG1428PE | Easy Smart SwitchUN User Guide - Page 70
