D-Link EasySmart Switch User Manual 
 
Figure 53 – QoS > 802.1p Default Priority 
 
Queuing Mechanism: Select Strict Priority to process the packets with the highest priority first. Select WRR 
(Weighted Round-Robin) to process packets according to the weight of each priority. When a priority level 
has reached its egress weight, the system will process the packets in the next level even if there are 
remaining packets. D-Link EasySmart Switch system’s weight of priority levels are: 8 (Highest), 4 (High), 2 
(Medium) and 1 (Low) packet. By default, the queuing mechanism is Strict Priority. 
 
 
QoS > Storm Control
 
The Storm Control feature provides the ability to control the receive rate of broadcast, multicast, and 
unknown unicast packets. Once a packet storm has been detected, the Switch will drop packets coming into 
the Switch until the storm has subsided.
