Chapter 10 Quality of Service (QoS)

•Use the Queue screen (Section 10.3 on page 138) to configure QoS settings on the AMG1312-T Series.

•Use the Class Setup screen (Section 10.4 on page 140) to configure QoS settings on the AMG1312-T Series.

•Use the Game List screen (Section 10.5 on page 144) to give priority to traffic for specific games.

10.1.2What You Need to Know About QoS

802.1p

QoS is used to prioritize source-to-destination traffic flows. All packets in the same flow are given the same priority. 802.1p is a way of managing traffic in a network by grouping similar types of traffic together and treating each type as a class. You can use 802.1p to give different priorities to different packet types.

Tagging and Marking

In a QoS class, you can configure whether to add or change the DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) value and IEEE 802.1p priority level in a matched packet. When the packet passes through a compatible network, the networking device, such as a backbone switch, can provide specific treatment or service based on the tag or marker.

Finding Out More

See Section 10.6 on page 145 for advanced technical information on QoS.
