Appendix D: RPLC-200 QoS Support

RPLC-200 allows for 4 levels of Channel Access Priority (CAP (0 – 3)). The 8 levels of VLAN Ethernet tags must be mapped to the 4 levels of CAP priority, where CAP 3 is the highest priority and CAP 0 is the lowest. CAP 3 priority might be used for voice and network management frames, and CAP 2 is used for streaming video and music while CAP 1 and CAP 0 are used for data.

Default CAP

The ‘Default CAP’ group allows for default priority mapping of packets that do not have a VLAN TAG. The settings are available for Unicast (directed to a host).

  • Unicast - (default CAP 1) - sets the default channel access priority for unicast frames not matching any other classification or mapping.
  • IGMP managed Multicast Stream (Fixed to CAP 2) - sets the default channel access priority for stream data belonging to a snooped IGMP multicast group.
  • IGMP - (default CAP 3) - sets the channel access priority for IGMP frames - these are the group management frames, not the stream data.
  • Multicast/Broadcast - sets the default CAP for multicast frames not in a snooped group and for broadcast frames.

The following are the factory default settings for VLAN Tags and TOS Bits:
