Overview

Quality of Service (QoS) is a feature that allows you to configure a switch to provide different 
levels of service to different groups of traffic. For example, QoS allows you to do the following:

Give some traffic groups higher priority access to network resources

Reserve bandwidth for special traffic groups

Restrict some traffic groups to bandwidth or data rates defined in a Service Level 

Agreement (SLA)

Count frames and packets that exceed specified limits and optionally discard them (rate 

limiting)

Queue or buffer frames and packets that exceed specified limits and forward them later 

(rate shaping)

Modify QoS related fields in forwarded frames and packets (remarking)

 shows the QoS components that provide these features on NETGEAR switches.
