Figure 14 shows 4-priority scheduling for Gen-3 hardware where ports are in hybrid 
mode. The QoS behavior for both access and network egress traffic is similar except 
that the access egress path includes tier 3, per-customer aggregate shapers. Access 
and network shapers prepare and present traffic to the port shaper, which arbitrates 
between access and network traffic.
The 4-priority schedulers on the Gen-1/Gen-2 and Gen-3 hardware are very similar, 
except that 4-priority scheduling on Gen-3 hardware is done on a per-SAP or a 
per-VLAN basis (for access egress and network egress, respectively).
