Mapping of the VPT to the output queue is performed on a system-wide basis, and can be enabled or disabled per port.

Default CoS— Packets arriving untagged are assigned to a default VPT, which can be set by the user on a per port basis. Once the VPT is assigned, the packet is treated as if it had arrived with this tag. The VPT mapping to the output queue is based on the same user-defined 802.1p tag-based definitions.

DSCP — Users can configure the system to use the IP DSCP of the incoming packet to the output priority queues. The mapping of the IP DSCP to priority queue is set on a per system basis. If this mode is active, a non-IP packet is always classified to the best effort queue.

The default mapping is shown in the following table:

Table 8: DSCP Default Mapping Table

DSCP Value

Queue Number

0-15

q1 (lowest priority)

16-31

q2

32-47

q3

48-64

q4

All network traffic which is not assigned a DSCP value is forwarded with Best Effort service.

After packets are assigned to a specific queue, using the chosen classification method various services can be applied. Scheduling for output queues can be configured, including:

Strict priority

Weighted Round Robin (WRR)

Scheduling schemes are specified per system. WRR weights to the queues can be assigned in any order. For each interface or queue, the following output shaping can also be configured:

Committed Burst Size (CBS)

Committed Information Rate (CIR)

Actions for over-the-limit traffic

12.1.2 QoS Modes

The device supports the following QoS modes:

Basic QoS Mode

Advanced QoS Mode

TL-SG3109, TL-SL3428, TL-SL3452 specifications

The TP-Link TL-SL3428 is a feature-rich Ethernet switch designed for small to medium-sized business environments. It is part of TP-Link’s JetStream series, which emphasizes reliability, performance, and robust management capabilities. Built with 28 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, the TL-SL3428 provides sufficient bandwidth to support a wide range of network applications.

One of the standout features of the TL-SL3428 is its support for Layer 2 management protocols. This allows for more granular control and optimized performance across network segments. The switch supports VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) segmentation, which enhances network security and efficiency by isolating various types of traffic. This feature is particularly useful in larger organizations where different departments or teams may require separate network environments.

The TL-SL3428 also includes advanced QoS (Quality of Service) capabilities. This functionality prioritizes traffic based on predefined rules, which ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth to function optimally. With QoS implementation, users can experience minimized latency, leading to better performance in VoIP and video conferencing applications.

In terms of redundancy and reliability, the switch also supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), enabling multiple connections to be combined for increased bandwidth and failover support. This feature significantly enhances network resilience, ensuring minimal downtime during failures.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is another important characteristic of the TL-SL3428. With PoE capabilities, this switch can deliver electrical power along with data over the same Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional wiring. This is especially advantageous for IP devices like cameras, access points, and VoIP phones.

Security features are abundant in the TL-SL3428 as well. It implements port security, storm control, and DHCP snooping, all of which contribute to a secure network infrastructure. The switch’s management capabilities can be accessed through a user-friendly web interface, making it easier for IT administrators to configure and monitor network activities.

Overall, the TP-Link TL-SL3428 is an exemplary choice for businesses looking to enhance their network performance with advanced management features, security protocols, and reliability. Its combination of speed, flexibility, and manageability make it a valuable tool for any growing organization.
