Measures reported by MLXPGStatTest

Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes network traffic and manages available bandwidth so that the most important traffic goes first. QoS is implemented as rules or policies that prioritize packets, optionally change information in the packet header, and assign them to outbound port queues based on their priority. The priority interface in Mellanox switch allows for the configuration of priority rules and handles the incoming traffic accordingly. The Mellanox swithc allows you to assign different traffic classes to a group where priority can be assigned to the whole group.

This test monitors the traffic and collects key stats about the priority treatment of grooups. Looking at the trend of these stats, the administrators can understand how the switch is behaving and if there are any issues.

Outputs of the test: One set of result for each switch.

Descriptor: Switch
