Temporal Tail Drop Thresholds enables the configuration of interface TX queue tail drops thresholds in units of time. The system dynamically computes the maximum allowable queue occupancy by considering the current interface speed and the Weighted Round Robin (WRR) bandwidth allocation. This feature simplifies configuration in environments with mixed link speeds. The calculated threshold represents the maximum bytes queued to hold packets for the specified duration.

Egress Priority Tagging is a feature that allows a switch to send out priority tagged ethernet frames in place of untagged frames. Priority tagged frames are sent with the VLAN ID set to zero allowing downstream devices to read the 802.1p priority bits set in the VLAN header.
