Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of Service determines the relative priority of different data packets, which in turn
determines which packets should receive preferential routing from a VIA switch. QoS is often
used for the distribution of video and audio signals, including the Dante® audio standard, to
meet the signal’s required timing constraints. Please remember that giving all data high
priority is the same as treating all traffic equally.
Property
Description
Quality of Service
Disabled (default): Disables QoS-based routing. All traffic is
treated equally.
Standard: Traffic priority is observed using a weighted algorithm
to ensure timely delivery of high priority traffic and eventual delivery
of lower priority packets.
Dante Strict: Traffic priority is strictly observed, using Dante-
specified weighting. Lower priority traffic may be dropped or
ignored to ensure delivery of Dante’s high priority packets.
For more information, please refer to the Appendix.
