Key Features explained

VLAN Based Priority (Classifying Services) - VLAN based Priority feature allows the user to assign priorities to different VLANs carrying various types of services / traffic according based on user categories and preferences. The user may highest priority to TDM traffic and Ethernet services on a lower priority. User may also configure which TDM link should be given preference over the other TDM links, when the uplink bandwidth falls below a particular threshold.

Flow Control in an Ethernet Packet Networks (Regulating Traffic) - Flow Control feature allows the user to regulate the Ethernet traffic flow to minimize packet loss due to data bursts.

Port / Customer based bandwidth allocation (Port Rate Limiting) - Port based Ingress and Egress Ethernet Rate Limiting allows the use to assign the bandwidth as per port / service requirements in addition to provisioning traffic by using 802.1Q and 802.1p VLANs and packet priority.
