Enterprise-Class Quality of Service
The Cisco 2960-Plus Series Switches offer intelligent traffic management that keeps everything flowing smoothly. Flexible mechanisms for marking, classification, and scheduling deliver superior performance for data, voice, and video traffic, all at wire speed. Primary QoS features include:
● Four egress queues per port and strict priority queuing so that the highest priority packets are serviced ahead of all other traffic
● Shaped Round Robin (SRR) scheduling and Weighted Tail Drop (WTD) congestion avoidance
● Flow-based rate limiting and up to 64 aggregate or individual policers per port
● 802.1p class of service (CoS) and differentiated services code point (DSCP) field classification, with marking and reclassification on a per-packet basis by source and destination IP address, MAC address, or Layer 4 TCP/UDP port number
