3.6 QoS Function
The device provides a powerful Quality of Service (QoS) function to guide the packet forwarding in
four priority classes. The versatile classification methods can meet most of the application needs.
The function is useful for guiding the incoming traffic on high data rate port into low data rate port in
priority. The following figure illustrates the QoS operation flow when a packet received on the ingress
port until it is transmitted out from the egress port:
Since the media converter can support full wire speed conversion for 1000Mbps to 1000Mbps, QoS
function is not essential for such application. It is suggested to disable the QoS function for 1000Mbps
to 1000Mbps conversion.
