Adapter Configuration
Corinex AV200 Powerline Ethernet Adapter
There is one offset, and one bitmask and pattern for the trigger condition. The trig-
ger condition is used to make sure that the Ethernet frame contains, for example, 
an IP frame. To check this condition, the offset must be set to 16 and the bitmask 
to 0xFFFF. If the resulting pattern is 0x0800, then the Ethernet frame contains an IP 
packet and the classification can be made to a known field.
There is another offset and bitmask for the classification condition. The resulting 
value is compared with a set of patterns. If the value matches a given pattern, the 
packet will be classified with the specified priority. If the value does not match any 
you configure two Class of Service criteria (Criterion 1 and Criterion 2 check-
boxes).
If you select None, 8021p or TOS, custom parameters are hidden, leaving a pre-
defined setting in place.
If you select Custom on the other hand, custom parameters are shown as below 
and can then be configured.
When several traffic flows are sharing the same network, it is sometimes necessary 
to establish several levels of priority in order to guarantee that bandwidth-sensitive 
applications like video and telephony function smoothly under network congestion.
The traffic classifier is a packet inspector that is able to recognize several patterns 
in an Ethernet frame, and assign a different priority to each of them. To ensure 
that the classification is done correctly, there is a trigger mechanism prior to the 
actual classification. The trigger mechanism is also based on pattern recognition of 
a given location in each Ethernet packet. The following picture depicts the packet
classification mechanism:
Several options are available in this form. The first, and easiest to understand and 
use, is the Default Priority value. Output traffic generated by adapters with higher 
default priority will have preference in the network. The rest of the parameters let
