With a Passport 1000 Series switch, you can set traffic prioritization to assign a packet or data stream a high-priority queue so that it goes through the network with minimal latency. The Passport routing switch has four queue classifications:

• Unicast low
• Multicast low
• Unicast high
• Multicast high

Traffic priority is especially critical for multimedia--video in particular. Using Device Manager, you can prioritize packets to provide more bandwidth for traffic that requires it. For example, you can assign a higher priority for voice and video multimedia traffic. In this way, you can optimize the delivery of multimedia traffic.The result of setting a higher priority for multimedia traffic is a smoother image and better sound quality.
