Advanced VLAN features, such as “Ingress VLAN filtering” and “Discard Non PVID packets” are also supported by the
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL. These features can be set on a per port basis, and are defined in register 18, 34 and 50 for ports
1, 2 and 3, respectively.
QoS Priority Support
The KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL provides Quality of Service (QoS) for applications such as VoIP and video conferencing.
Offering four priority queues per port, the per-port transmit queue can be split into four priority queues: Queue 3 is the
highest priority queue and Queue 0 is the lowest priority queue. Bit [0] of registers 16, 32 and 48 is used to enable split
transmit queues for ports 1, 2 and 3, respectively. If a port's transmit queue is not split, high priority and low priority
packets have equal priority in the transmit queue.
There is an additional option to either always deliver high priority packets first or use weighted fair queuing for the four
priority queues. This global option is set and explained in bit [3] of register 5.
Port-Based Priority
With port-based priority, each ingress port is individually classified as a high priority receiving port. All packets received at
the high priority receiving port are marked as high priority and are sent to the high-priority transmit queue if the
corresponding transmit queue is split. Bits [4:3] of registers 16, 32 and 48 are used to enable port-based priority for ports
1, 2 and 3, respectively.
802.1p-Based Priority
For 802.1p-based priority, the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL examines the ingress (incoming) packets to determine whether they
are tagged. If tagged, the 3-bit priority field in the VLAN tag is retrieved and compared against the “priority mapping” value,
as specified by the registers 12 and 13. The “priority mapping” value is programmable.
The following figure illustrates how the 802.1p priority field is embedded in the 802.1Q VLAN tag.
