Precedence of Traffic Groups
The ExtremeXOS software allows you to define multiple traffic groups,
and you can configure traffic groups in such a way that multiple traffic groups apply to
an ingress frame or packet. When an ingress frame or packet matches two or more traffic
groups, the software chooses one traffic group based on the precedence defined for the
switch platform. In general, the more specific traffic group definition takes
precedence. The following table shows the traffic group precedence for the supported
switch platforms (number 1 is the highest precedence).

Note
Beginning in ExtremeXOS 16.1, the port, VLAN and DiffServ-based
traffic groups will only work if 802.1p examination is disabled.
