Priority Packet: An Overview
Priority Packet is a traffic-prioritization utility that enables you
to set up priority filters to process high priority traffic before
normal traffic. Using Priority Packet, you can give priority to
critical applications or users.
Priority Packet is available on the
HP NetServer 10/100TX PCI
LAN Adapter Drivers
CD in the \Priority Packet directory.
Prioritizing Network Traffic
Priority Packet lets you set up priority filters to send
information from critical nodes or applications with an
indicated priority. By prioritizing traffic at the host or entry
point of the network, network devices can base forwarding
decisions on priority information defined in the packet.
Priority Packet prioritizes traffic based on priority filters —
parameters you assign to be applied to outgoing (transmit)
packets. Using the Priority Filter Wizard, you can set up
pre-defined or custom priority filters based on a node (MAC)
address, Ethernet type, or by various properties of the protocol
