If you are using (the AppleTalk Filing Protocol) AFP, use large or maximum resource
sharing (AFP use a fix windows size set to 65,535K).You should use t he large resource
sharing setting:
If you are using your 5520 for high bandwidth application such as video.
If you are using large TCP windows for your traffic, use large resource s haring (you can
also reduce the TCP windows size on windows operating system - see Microsoft TechNet
article 224829).
If you have 4 or fewer ports connected per group of 12 ports.
You should use the Regular resource sharing setting:
If you are using your 5520 in a VOIP environment.
If you have 5 or more ports connected per group of 12 ports.
Egress CoS Queuing
The following charts describe each possible egress CoS queuing s etting. The mapping of 802.1p
priority to egress CoS queue, dequeuing algorithm, and queue weight is g iven. Additionally, the
memory and maximum number of packets which can be buffered per egress CoS queue and
resource sharing settings is shown.
