Features and benefits
Quality of Service (QoS)
Flow classification is based on DSCP field, MAC address, IP protocol type, source address, destination address, or
queue basis, including strict priority
pagation of QoS policy
and classification by the sending party based on access lists, community lists, and autonomous system paths in the
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) thus helping to classify based on destination instead of source address.
Data center optimized
HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch Series enables scaling of the server edge with 1GbE and 10GbE ToR deployments with high-
