6 USING TRAFFIC PRIORITIZATION What is Traffic Prioritization? Using the traffic prioritization capabilities of your Switch allows your network traffic to be prioritized to ensure that high priority data is transmitted with minimum delay. For a list of the features supported by your Switch, please refer to the Management Quick Reference Guide supplied in PDF format on the CD-ROM that accompanies your Switch. For detailed descriptions of the web interface operations and the command line interface (CLI) commands that you require to manage the Switch please refer to the Management Interface Reference Guide supplied in HTML format on the CD-ROM that accompanies your Switch. The SuperStack 3 Switch 4200 Family has two traffic queues per port giving it a basic capability to prioritize traffic. For more granular prioritization and an enhanced Quality of Service support, other products are available in the 3Com range of stackable Switches. Traffic prioritization allows high priority data, such as time-sensitive and system-critical data to be transferred smoothly and with minimal delay over a network. Traffic prioritization is most useful for critical applications that require a high level of service from the network. These could include: ■ Converged network applications - Used by organizations with a converged network, that is, a network that uses the same infrastructure for voice and video data and traditional data. Organizations that require high quality voice and video data transmission at all times can ensure this by maximising bandwidth and providing low latency.
