802.1p/802/1Q Tagging
IEEE 802.1p is a new IEEE standard for tagging packets—that is, assigning
packets priorities. Each packet is tagged with four additional bytes, which
increase its size and indicate its priority—from 0 (low) to 7 (high). This process
is called priority packet tagging or traffic class expediting. It enables the
adapter, working with the switches and routers in the network, to send packets
with higher priorities first.
To use priority packet tagging, your network infrastructure—specifically, the
routing devices that receive and transfer packets, and the adapters for those
devices—must support 802.1 p/802.1Q tagging. Using the Priority Packet
utility, set up the priority filter. Then, set the 802.1p/802.1Q tagging option to
Enabled. If the priority filter is set up but the setting is Disabled, the tagged
packets will still be processed by priority if the Combo card uses an Intel 82558
or later Ethernet controller. There are two requirements for using IEEE 802.1p
tagging effectively:
v The other devices receiving and routing 802.1p tagged packets must support
802.1p
v The adapters must support 802.1p.
