■Class of Services and WRR priority

The converter implements two levels of priority queues, high priority and low priority. The priority for each packet is based on 802.1Q VLAN tag scheme. Each incoming packet is mapped to either a high priority queue or a low priority queue. When no CoS function is enabled, the first-in/ first-out forwarding method is used. The output schedule mode and weight function for the ratio of high/low priorities is defined in the Class of Service field.
