6 USING 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 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

	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.
