LACP automatically determines, configures, binds, and monitors theport binding within the system.For more information, see VLAN LAG Membership.DHCP ClientsDHCP enables additional setup parameters to be received from a networkserver upon system startup. DHCP service is an on-going process.For more information, see IP Addressing Overview .Quality of Service FeaturesClass of Service 802.1p SupportThe IEEE 802.1p signaling technique is an OSI Layer 2 standard for markingand prioritizing network traffic at the data link/MAC sub-layer. 802.1p trafficis classified and sent to the destination. No bandwidth reservations or limitsare established or enforced. 802.1p is taken from the 802.1Q (VLANs)standard. 802.1p establishes eight levels of priority, similar to the IPPrecedence IP Header bit-field.For more information about QoS, see Network Administration: Quality ofService .TCP Congestion AvoidanceThe TCP Congestion Avoidance feature activates an algorithm to preventTCP global synchronization during congestions. TCP global synchronizationcan occur when packets are dropped all at once during congestion. As a result,it can unexpectedly synchronize multiple TCP hosts to reduce theirtransmission during congestion and restart the transmission when thecongestion eases.For more information, see TCP Congestion Avoidance.
