ETS
Enhanced transmission selection. A
standard that specifies the enhancement
of transmission selection to support the
allocation of bandwidth among traffic
classes. When the offered load in a traffic
class does not use its allocated bandwidth,
enhanced transmission selection allows
other traffic classes to use the available
bandwidth. The bandwidth-allocation prior-
ities coexist with strict priorities. ETS
includes managed objects to support
bandwidth allocation. For more informa-
tion, refer to:
