The PowerConnect 6200 offers exibility in Quality of Service (QoS) by giving network administrators
the ability to prioritize time-critical network trafc based on a variety of user-dened criteria.
Administrators can expedite trafc based on L2 or L3 information to provide greater control over
trafc ow within the network.
